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.
Trevor John Karsavin Potter.
April 24th. - 25th. 2016.
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.
