Gianni the young Adonis?

 

"Gianni, the young Adonis?" 

 

 

The young 'adonis' 

that I met in 1959

is still that young man

that wooed me:

"Oh Anna, Anna, Anna," he said

as I refused his advances

"Don't leave me in that room

Mother, father, sister:"

"For all he does is chant for me

Oh Anna, Anna, Anna,"

approaching me so close

what can I do 

I thought

push him away

say nay, say nay, 

but still he pressed his suit. 

 

And when in London 

he espied

A young American by my side

as I was driving at the wheel

his head upon my shoulder laid

his feelings smouldered angrily

why does she let him

and never me?

Oh Anna, Anna, Anna,

will you not come to me?

What a lovely reflection darling Anna, Anna, Anna... I can understand why that Adonis was so smitten! I like this poem a lot for it's content & sense, though I know as writing goes you are capable of more brilliance, hope that's ok... with huge love to you xxx~ Anni ~~~ "A loving person lives in a loving world.
