"Home To Me"

Cristy wrote this peom late one night while listening to Nina Simone. She calls this one silly but I think it's good - the lines are like song lyrics.   - poetheart 04/13/03


Sometimes I wish I could sing the blues like Nina Simone
Hummin’ and moanin’ til my baby comes home
I wanna say that sugar in
my bowl is jus’ what I need
I wanna whisper it to ya daddy “C’mon and give it to me”
Gonna put a spell on ya, baby...just wait and see
Gonna haunt your dreams, sugar...with my witchy melody
Wanna tell you that you’re mine to keep
Gonna leave you my song, daddy - to sing you to sleep
If you leave me honey, sad and all alone
I’ll write and moan...til you come home
Home to me baby, home to me
