start music now
Desperate Characters
Desperate characters
we dance in the dark
trying to capture
that magic, that spark
Wining and dining
and yearning to feel
the way that we did once
when true love was real
Desperate characters
we probe with our eyes
and try to detect there
the truth and the lies
Hoping for something
that can't be replaced
by strangers and others
that time has erased
Desperate characters
we give it a whirl
out there on the floor
the ballroom of the world
Of loving and losing
and losing some more
two ships without anchors
that have crashed on the shore
Still looking for magic
and longing for home
cause a house is just shelter
when you live alone
Desperate characters
trying so to be brave
holding onto a moment
that the heart cannot save
Then the music, it stops now
and the bright lights come on
in the dark, I was hopeful
but I'm leaving alone.

painter of these marvelous paintings............
I was sitting there in the restaurant bar and grill, and daincehall, listening to some “Slow Daince” music, when I spotted her out of the corner of my eye. She started lookin my way. That’s when our eyes met. I had that grin on my face. You know the grin! It’s the one that lets a woman know that I’ve noticed her. And boy did I notice!!
ReplyDeleteShe had on a sleek black dress that was just above her knees, not that I notice things like that, I just don’t want them to THINK I’m noticing things like that! That way they get curious and just have to know if I noticed what they were wearing! (Of course I notice!)
As she’s making her way to where I was sitting, this slick-haired dude in a white blazer steps in front of her and asks her to daince.... she quickly sits down at the bar and looks away from him, givin him the brush-off signal....then he walks away with his head down, sulkin like a five-year who got the tv turned off in the middle of Tom and Jerry and sent to bed! (I’ve seen this many times. It’s hilarious!)
Well, while I was getting us another drank, another dude in a white blazer walks up to her and asks HER to daince! So she whispers something in his ear that sends him away! I’m not gonna have to chase anybody off tonight. She’s doing it all for me! That way I don’t punch the guy out, especially if his name is Lance!
As we were sittin at the table, I asked her to tell me about herself, (women love it when you ask about them), while I was sketching her face. (Women love that too!)
Well then this blonde notices me and wants to tell me about herself and have me sketch her face! (this only happened one other time and that’s when the CAT-FIGHT started! They were like tigresses. Claws and teeth!) (and maybe a little kicking here and there. Mostly there!)
So I distracted the blonde and then asked the woman I was with, to daince! So we dainced, and we dainced and we dainced until there was no more daince left in us!
So we went back to our table so she could put on some lipstick. You see, while we were daincing cheek to cheek, her lipstick was rubbin off on my shirt! Of course that didn’t matter, I’ll just take over to Aachoo’s place and she’ll have MiMi wash and press it for me! MiMi.....she’s crazy about me.....that sweet woman!
While she was staring off into space, wondering if I’m gonna ask her to take her to her place or mine, I asked her if she’d like to get out this place and go over to her place or mine! (I read her mind!)
Well, when we got there she pulled off her shoes and got comfortable. I won’t tell ya what that means when they slip off their shoes, but you can bet I’ll be fixin breakfast in the morning! But I keep it all gentlemanly! It drives them crazy mad in love!
So I told her to just lay on the couch and lean back because I had a surprise for her!!!!............she was getting a shoulder, neck, and face rub! It usually puts them to sleep and removes the risk of me losing my Gentleman’s card! I don’t leave home without it!
Then came the knock on the door! As I opened it, there was this Johnny Depp lookin guy wondering if I’d seen Jack Sparrow, his parrot!
I told him, “yeah, two doors down, Johnny! Ask for Aachoo! I think she’s holdin him ransom! Just don’t ask for a cup of coffee if’n you don’t want it spilt on your p’aints!
But if there’s a crowd there, toasting her newest chapter, then have one on me! Tell her I sent ya!
That was awesome!!!!! thank you
DeleteYou’re welcome! Now you know, I’m saving all of these little stories for something later on! I’ve got most or all of the ones I’ve done, but no one would understand the humor behind them as we do! But I still love to read again.
ReplyDeletewhat!!??? are we back on the Tequila again? lol how art thou, Mr President?
ReplyDeleteNo! Just the wagon……. and the teqwila.
ReplyDeleteHow am I?? Well, I went to see my cardiologist last week and he put me on a strict diet! No beef except once a month, cut back on the salty stuff like certain chips, very little butter; he says I’m out of shape (which I’m not) what he means is he wants me to walk about 30 minutes a day for my cardio, and work on my cholesterol….. etc etc etc.
I’m losing weight because of this diet but I’m still living.
Oh, and I ruptured a bicep muscle….. it’s a long story. 💪 maybe I’ll put it in one of those short stories. 😁
How are you doing Que es mi nombre?
poor baby...poor goofball buddy...I'm ok teqwila...lol Happy 4th😢🥸😍
