Hey girls, let's rave tonight.
The spotlight's hitting Benji
and all that black leather.
Our inhibitions die tonight
in bottomless glasses
of white rum and ecstasy,
and a solid sphere of sound.
Is this your first time?
He'll space you out with his crazy beat
and blatant sexuality.
Oh Benji, we'll tear each other's eyes out
to win that coveted status:
to wear you like a second skin
and wake up on your pillow -
the ultimate claim to fame.
Hey girls, let's dive into his aura,
lose sight of parental boundaries
and just live for this moment
of backstage hedonism...
but be sure not to dream of Benji
in delicate tints of rose,
cos tomorrow he's moving on...
wow. sounds like he has some interesting nights...hahaha....
ReplyDeletesometimes i have to wonder what his feelings are really
always moving and never really having a deeper connection....
Think he probably did, Brian...smiles...
DeleteI agree...fun in the short term, but in the long term?
I think not!
But, deep down, I'll bet even he eventually needed that deeper connection!!
Many thanks :)
Backstage hedonism...may be fun temporarily but certainly not fulfilling :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not...yet in that era of "Me first" it appeared to be the trend.
DeleteI observed it so many times all around me...but it always led to disaster!
Many thanks, Keith :)
Great capture of "Benji" the "guy who's always moving on"
ReplyDeleteWonder about that kind of connection.
Bet he had some crazy times but not much substance to those connections.
Wishing you a great weekend.
Hugs

Probably seemed like fun at the time...but at what cost!
DeleteI wonder where he is in life now?;)
Many thanks, Margie.
Hope you're having a great weekend too!

Simpler times mostly, in others imagination. The imagined freedom had to be a high. Love it…
ReplyDeleteYes...why does life always seem so much simpler in retrospect?
DeleteObserved freedom often exists only in the imagination of the observer...there is usually a heavy price to pay somewhere down the line!
Many thanks, Anthony :)
I have to ask Ygraine my dear, did you dance with Benji? lol I love this
ReplyDeleteHaha...danced, yes...but that's all.
DeleteI prefer a much deeper connection!!
Many thanks Lorraine.

Happy day of the woman. Feliz dia de la mujer.
ReplyDeleteYes...these were fun times...so long as we kept our feet firmly on the ground! *smiles*
DeleteThank you Boris :)
A great night indeed! Sounds like a lot of loving and fun!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs ;o)
They certainly were a lot of fun, Stacy...but it was a little too easy to get burned! *smiles*
DeleteHugs xxx
Sounds like Benji is having an interesting world. An interesting episode dear Ygraine.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Dumcho!
DeleteYes, I think Benji had a lot of fun *smiles*
I love 'our inhibitions die tonight in bottomless glasses...'
ReplyDeleteJust living for the moment, you captured this feeling very well!
Ha...yes, fun times...some paid for them quite dearly though.
DeleteAlways safer to observe from a distance...:)
Many thanks, Rose x
then girls,
ReplyDeletemove on with him
whats stopping you?
;)
Think lots of them did, Deeps! *smiles*
DeleteThank you :)
A chant to youth and freedom - with tints of grey experience and wise warning -, bravisssima Ygraine!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite lines...

That Benji was dangerous, like most men, conquering and then departing in search of more to conquer...and leave again.
A hug.
You are so right there, Dulcina...most men are dangerous - especially when we are young and a little naive *smiles*
DeleteThey were fun times though!
