    She Loves Bossa Nova

    She loves Bossa Nova
    rare steaks
    rain sticks
    Sinatra.
    And red red wine.

    She's real
    and sometimes sparks
    with spoken words
    spoken loud.
    Just like the
    Statue of Liberty.
    Standing tall and proud
    Along the long way
    long way around.

    Brown sugar baby
    backyard blues
    Maybe it was intimidation
    quiet infatuation.
    I was coming down home
    fell down, down, down
    into silver blazing dawn.

    On the long way
    overheard on the sidewalk
    she said "I love you."
    somehow I did not understand.
    Overheard on the street
    out on the sidewalk
    taking the long way
    long way around.

    I didn't know
    she was crying.
    I didn't think
    it'd be that way
    didn't think
    she would get so serious.
    The guitar played
    C, D...

    She likes city lights
    she could name all the Saints.
    And the darkness
    she said it made her so lonely.

    She loves Bossa Nova
    rare steaks
    rain sticks
    Sinatra.
    And red red wine.
    On the long way
    long way around.

    Good morning, another poem that's reality based.
