I will call your name Outloud

Who can find all of the allusions, music or otherwise?

------

I will call your name Outloud

Layla, your eyes and mine, one in space
As the world vanishes we sit and wait
Listening to our hearts as they resound in bass.

Wishing this were our first date
Our time together is Unforgettable
But we won’t fall for the bait.

Owls on a stable
We don’t ask, “Follow Me”
We won’t fall into Babel.

Sitting, sipping tea
We’re looking Somewhere Over the Rainbow
G!D, I wish I had your key.

Because I’m not your beaux
We’re together, Free Fallin’
But of our wings, we don’t know.

While our hearts boil deep within
Within the moment, are we Caught Up
But the boundary, we keep more than thin.

Never looking for a lay-up
To ignite One Wild Night
We don’t want a hook up.

“Luck Be a Lady Tonight”
As we Rumba de Barcelona
Through Cupid’s Arrow’s bight.

Together, we’re a new persona
We can’t become Passerby’s
For our power is that of a corona.

Superwoman, you’re beautiful, and never let anyone tell you different.
