Fever!




when the night is nearly over
while our bed is warm with sweat
still your touch is on my body
still the taste of you is set 
you make me crazy // over take me 
crazy when you won't let go 
so hot!! in the morning
crazy! oh don't you know

when the dawn begins to color
all the edges of the sky
still your presence lingers with me 
like a melody of times gone by 

you make me crazy / / over take me 
crazy I cannot let go  
so hot!! in the morning
crazy! oh don't you know

when you brush against my shoulder
heat comes rising through my skin
every breath we take grows bolder
pulls us where we've always been

you make me crazy // overtake me
crazy when you won't let go
so hot!! in the morning
crazy! oh don't you know

when you whisper in that low voice
up against my waiting ear
i can't think of any good choice
but to pull your sexy body near 

you make me crazy // overtake me 
crazy when you won't let go
so hot!! in the morning
crazy! oh don't you know


crazy! oh don't you know ....

crazy! oh don't you know ....

crazy! oh don't you know.

  1. Helen, I remember Peggy Lee singing that and I love the beatnik avant-garde video you made to go along with your poem. Your man is on fire for you :)

  10. Dearest Helen,
    Sang that several years ago with our group and loved it!
    Glad I've NOT been running a fever lately... praying hard.
    Yep, I'm still alive, though lost several pounds again due to antibiotics.
    Big hugs from your 98 lb blogger friend!
