A TYPHOON IN THE ROOM

A poem written for a crazy young woman who I fell hopelessly in love with during the summer of 1992 whilst working in the South of France aboard yachts in the port of Antibes . Together we stayed in a huge stone pile called the chateau Laval courtesy of Jack et Michelle Olga was a green-eyed goddess with olive skin in and a temper that she'd borrowed from the dog cerberus and I was a dotting fool , but to everyone who's ever suffered from the lightning strike of love at first sight as the Italians call it "amoure a prima vista" of or in the French" le coupé de foudre", all I can say is that like myself i hope that you've never recovered and never do because it's a beautiful feeling of being processed by the madness of passion. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/steven-richardson6/message
