Smallish edit plus new last stanza:
The French was lovely.
Coming up next
in the theatre of lusting hearts:
You rock now!
Show no inhibitions
and no underwear!
My Lady Applebright: you are
right for my heart,
so: no drama, please,
as we approach perfection.
I feel so sublime
when I'm fading away
into other nirvanas.
Please, chase my uneasy
right out through the door.
Can you do that,
can you love me
while I am dead?
Born under a bad sign,
under a cheesecake moon.
When I was born
heaven made a mistake,
and it is hard times sometimes
to refuse the remedy.
The clowneries of love affairs aside,
when summer bumps into me,
my goodbye address will read:
the French, it wasn't bad.

Yes, Bunx. The Commue was great, too.

As to the French Revolution I may be more on Burke's side, but whatever. ;-)

Let me repeat for you just this:
the French was not bad. Hi serge,
As always, you are the thinking man's crumpet. I read stuff on all sites which is undeniably rubbish masquerading as deep thought. You are the opposite! Take what you want from this.
I liked it but feel ashamed to admit it as I understood so little of it....if anything.
I sometimes feel the need to scream "make it poetry!" at your efforts but frankly, it just would lose too much in the translation.
Best,
tectak

Hi serge,
if you want me to agree with everything you may say in the future...I will. Just say the word. My final comment until the regime begins....in NO language is "uneasy" a
noun. There, I have said it. 
Best,
tectak
PS I will check it out in Danish and report back ( or shoulder....bacon you know)

of course it is no noun. I abuse it here. ,-)
like in the Big Easy, you know.
Please let there be a big Uneasy, too. I need it.
Maybe I should instead use: uneasiness? But it is not sexy. Well, the feeling is not either.
(Btw: this is an organic approach poem. ;-) )
Thank you for your comments. Appreciated as always.

hi serge, the problem i have is this, do i read your poem and leave feedback on it or do i fuck off a watch a vid of some foreign bird sing in a language i have no interest in and can't understand? the vid adds absolutely fuck all to the poem for me, but took up 4 minutes of my time watching it and 5 minutes of my time writing about how it meant fuck all; you can see what i'm getting at can't you
the poem on the other hand is worth reading. i do like how you express yourself in the poetry you write, it feels free. and somehow drags the reader into it. this is no different though i think it could do with a smallish edit.

Hi billy,
thank you for looking into this.
I've done a smallish edit. ,-)
I have also thrown out the chick, Elis Regina, because you have already listened to her. ,-)

Hi Brownlie, thank you for reading and commenting!
I understand that you have a hard time knowing what is going on here. That comes to no surprise for me because it addresses a particular reader, not you. ,-)
I posted it here to hone it as far as the Englishness of it is concerned.
That might hav been unfair but Tom and billy jumped on it and did help me improve it.
It is just a ditty.
French here carries strong sexual connotations. Lady ... is willfully old-fashioned for fun and cheesecake moon, besides being just a metaphor, is a reference to a New Orleans poet.
cheers
