"LOVERS" / "My Greatest Love"

My Greatest Love

 by Fawn E. Caldwell

I can’t believe it…here,
Standing before me,
Is my greatest love of all.

And yet, I can do nothing,
As I am betrothed to another,
For my heart aches,
like it never has before.

But what can I do?
I see your eyes,
Crying out for this love,
I sense our hearts,
Stirring with desire…

And passion so intense…

…I can barely stand.

I know I thought…
I had loved another,
But my forever love,
Stands before me,

Arms outstretched…waiting...

I, anticipating the embrace,

Can but only walk away-

And hang my head in sorrow.

"Josephine" by Wendie Busig-Kohn

Josephine!!

Oozing sensuality
Erotic by define
Fearless and determined
So many stood in line
To see her infamous “Banana Dance”
Femme Fatale without peer
Artists all embraced her
From beginning to end
of her illustrious career.

Born and raised in poverty
An icon long before
Civil Rights Movements
Began to play a role
In fairness for all.

She loved her country and Paris
all the children of the world
Were in her heart
Like the biggest box of chocolates
She had a mission to adopt them all.

Reckless and unpredictable
Fraught with many challenges each day
she met each one with fearlessness
Her one predictable flaw.

She never believed in failure
She trusted her own grace
But Grace, her Royal Highness
Was there to prevent her from losing face.

Two nights before she died
Her triumphant final comeback witnessed 
Her joy of performance vindicated
As Mick Jagger applauded, we knew
She will always be thought of 
As the irrepressible Josephine Baker,

"La Baker" to heaven flew!
