Summary:
Sometimes you hear a song and it brings back memories and this poem.

I JUST LOSE CONTROL

(It amazes me. Take a song from a long time ago, add a conversation with a close friend,

and kiss your Muse. Here is what happens.)

 

 

“ooh ooh baby

when you’re near me,

I just lose control.

I feel the earth move under my feet

I see the sky come tumblin’ down

whenever you’re around…”

           ~~Carole King

 

————-

 

You say: “Why do you give me so much power?

               I could turn you inside out

              if I wanted to, or tried to!”

 

I reply: “’Cause  I want to!”

 

Yes, you could easily turn me

inside, outside, upside down.

 

Explainable?

No more than trying to explain

why a western breeze

carries your scent.

 

Or,  why seeing your smile

is like standing naked

under a rain forest waterfall;

its cool mists creating goose bumps

and awaking me to life.

 

There are an infinity of explanations.

Yet, it comes down to only one-

I really really really, like you.

 

And this, mon ami,

is more than enough reason

to give you power in my life;

to want  you to turn me

 inside, outside, upside down.

      • Mary, Mary, HI and Hello and I am out of control seeing that you are here, leaving me an “amazing”. Okay Curt, calm down, behave, it’s your friend Mary. Stay in control, she likes your poem, everything is okay! Hi Mary, this is the “nice” redzone. I come once in a while cause Curt is excitable, especially when Valuptas is visiting and “whispers” at one of his poems. If his excitement bothers you, just bop him upside his head. 🌹
