Good Woman

Baby, I'm a good loving woman;
I can make you feel like birds are flying all through you,
and singing their heads off, too.

Honey, I'm a good faithful woman;
Once I'm yours, I go deaf and blind to anybody else,
knowing only the braille of a singular devotion.

Sleep in, sweet thing--
I'll put on heels and get a job.

Anything you want in this big round world,
I'll find it,
fetch it,
bread it and fry it.

Sugar pea, did I ever tell you how my last love kissed and crossed me?
Never mind, I made your favorite dessert!
Just sit.
Just enjoy.
Just try it.
__________

    Hmmm...a warning. "knowing only the braille of a singular devotion." Love that line

    Each stanza--not better than the previous one, because each one is perfect in its own way.

    Find it, fetch it, bread it, fry it...and the last one---sooo dark and delicious. (Don't take one bite of that dessert, darlin', if you crossed Shay. ;)

    Love it! (And I too wonder about the underlying meaning in that ending.)

    Devotion takes many forms but seldom seems to get itself back in turn--cooking a very apt metaphor--one cooks, the other eats--and the sardonic frosting really fits the picture. Forgive the incoherence--about commented out here.

    How did I just know that you would pick that particular piece?!! You give new meaning to "blind devotion!" Where is the line where love becomes obsession? I'd be wary of trying that dessert!

    Oh, this is brilliant! Trust you, Shay, to tell the 'right' story.

    I'll find it,
    fetch it,
    bread it and fry it.

    Now that's love!

    So much devotion and seduction in this, but that last unanswered question would lead to many sleepless nights (keeping one eye open). Excellent write, outtasight! la la Mosk

    This is wonderful Shay :) I really loved reading it!
    You have given a whole new meaning to the term "Blind devotion."

    Love,
    Sanaa
