Remembering the first time I saw you,
Your body swayed and flowed with the refrain. You played the classics as well as the blues. Emotions I felt I could not explain; I wanted to go backstage and remain. Your skill alone surpassed by your allure. Upon your soul I saw no blot or stain; You were petite, enchanting, and demure. Eroticism had prevailed; there was no cure. |
