Casablanca
I awake in a black
and white film..
Casablanca..
He's playing it..
again, you must
remember this..
and as I glimpse
at my reflection..
in the barmans mirror..
I am Ingrid ..
puckered up
for a kiss.
Old Bogey is puffing
on a cig..
nicotine breath and
fumes of whisky..
I'm caught in the role,
do I resist..
or take control..?
of all the gin joints..
in all the towns..
I step into this..
it could have been,
From Dusk till Dawn,
or Ice Cool in Alex..
but no I'm in monochrome
on the borders of panic.
I guess we will always
have Paris,
the romance..the scent of
love..but Bogey didn't
do it for me..
I need the Eifel Tower..
a Champagne cocktail..
and a flipping good rub..
with burly builders hands..
and some masculine strength..
Not acting..
I need real life in technicolor..
with sensual feels to send me
reeling..
it all begins to swirl the forties..
the war...Rick..the Resistance .
intrigue and espionage ..
all in my brain..
I feel annoyed someone has
sent me here in a dream..
in an old film..
that I've tried to watch
Many times and ditched..
So I get on the plane,
close my eyes..
As Time Goes By..
I awake in Citizen Cane
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggg !!!.

i saw it great poem
I try to watch it..it has poignant moments..but I get lost in it...lose interest..lose the plot..same as Citizen Cane its supposed to be a classic movie .Ii struggle in the first ten minutes....maybe it's because they're old..give me Alistair Simm in A Christmas Carol and I can watch it 100 times over..
awww i love that christmas
carol 1939 i think
i have watch citizen cane
didnt like it eather
I have never seen either film... Except for clips. I've been to Paris a couple of times and love it there. What a shame you ended up in the old black and white things, far better that the dream maker sends you to the city to enjoy that cocktail in all its glorious technicolour. Perhaps next time your dreams will be much more to your liking.
I enjoyed reading this write of yours, Pauline x
Thankyou Being Me..it came in a dream..dreams are strange, sometimes I can control them, sometimes I'm directed..often I see my dad pass through my dreams in the crowd..or he pops up on a train..lol...I often look through drawers and cupboards in dreams..what you find is hilarious..I never ever see myself in dreams..the reflection is never....and I get repeats..need a new chanel...bad dreams ...wake me up..strange how your body reacts..sweating, heart beating fast..fear response....and mostly I cant remember dreams, unless I awake inside them...classical films I bet I've seen them all...I think I spent one full year in youth watching them...dont know what film it was, a black and white where a man was dreaming a lot, turned out he was only a brain and had been injured very badly in the war..I'd like to see that again .the whole film projected in the first person..Whatever happened to Baby Jane..lol the phsyco thrillers..I think I've eaten these films for breakfast the 39 Steps..lol..some I cant remember the names..( now I have to look for the brain box on stage with the fantastic memory name...its defo not me...I'm glad you enjoyed my ramblings...

Haha... You sound like you have vivid dreams lol! I have had dreams that have turned out to be whole stories. Weird ones lol. Wish I could control them. That's lucid dreaming isn't it? You're lucky to be able to do that. I'd love to be able to do that x
