Hot Nights - Cool Love. (Revised)


   Hot Nights - Cool Love.

(With thanks to Birthday Boy Mr. W S).



Shout it from the rooftops?
No, do not do that.
Speak low when you speak love
And I shall hear you clearly.

Next time you lift the telephone
Just whisper a few words.
I do not need a Show Band in my lug
To know that you are with me.

A few soft words at midnight
Should calm the savage breast.
A mix of Jets and Sharks and Claudio
Just ain`t worth the candle light.

So lady disdain, please don`t bludgeon love with words,
If you read that loud is proud, go burn your library.

In both Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo and Juliet true love is hidden until brought
into full view by disruptive and potentially violent social pressures.
