Famous Movie Poem - Singing in the Rain

I wrote this after watching the hugely entertaining Gene Kelly Movie

you are young, your skin is taut
my heart reels like a guitar tight
and plucked for the first time

you are young and your crown billows and
crests cascading like a great waterfall i
am pleasantly entangled in the
shiny resplendent tresses

your enchanting intelligence fueled eyes darting
over the silver screen are shangrila's spring
lakes of passion, appetisers for love i cant
take mine off

you charge up the morning like a
thousand birds bursting in their enthusiasm,
all ready to fly away with their present
of the new day, giving life to a solitary tree now
waving and whistling its cheers to
the pulsating birth of the new dawn

your stilettos rain steps as you dance,
raindrops beating down a tranquil lane,
an orgy of song and kettle drums
a flamenco for a fiesta of irresitible romantic charms

raindrops tipping tappings on us
waking us up to the warmth we have
in us, and our propensity for love,
for a fulfilling life worthy of singing in the rain

tip tap, tip tap, tip tap,
we let down our hair
we run up and down the lane
the sound of rain is a million ovations,
a million dancers joining us upping, downing
twisting turning a spiralling lane of fun
