But I was proven wrong
With the weakness I sired,
From your unmatched,
Immense love, I always wished to have
And taste, before I became nature's
Reject, of earthly joys!
I want to...

I See TremorsI see tremors…
dancing between the dust,
as the sunlight hits your hands,
they recite their symphony, of silence,

a different kind of loveA different kind of love
Easy, in and out your breath
lungs unsullied by cigarette smoke
Siesta nap, a lazy Sunday afternoon
when flowers are recklessly nude

The Flaming GarterLike the king of Cordoba’s treasury
Reflected in a robber’s eye

And high-pitched trills
The vehicle turns aside
Then flames appear...

Dark, sexy, ebony eyes that light up, sparkle and twinkle.
Tender lips, as tempting as red, sensuous, burgundy wine.
On your handsome face, not even one, creeping, aging wrinkle.
Wish I could grow all over you, like a...

To Dance Under The StarsEarly on in the beginning,
you sought to make my dream come true.
You brought me out beneath the stars

At first, you sat and watched me
as I smiled...

welcome to the Flamencoruffled high-heeled, high-haired

her partner concentrating on her beauty
stepping automatically to the best music
welcome to the flamenco, with castanets
and jazzy snapping happy feet...
