The roses told
Only on you
Only on you
I was a stray without a fold
...

Turn to the left
And burn just right
Sun kissed
Only nineteen and full of promise
...

Shattered and fragmented
Thoughts were scattered illusions
Blown away by the wind
The thousand miles I crossed
...

Watch
The purple clouds
Dance together
In the midnight blue skies
...

Have you forgotten me
So easily
My Gypsy Siren
Between foreign beds?
...

Darling
Has the winter
Come early
To steal you away
...

Your Mother laughs
And this Lover is dying
Like Death in the cards
Riding a horse into the unknown
...

Darling
Do you remember
A time when our love was simple
A time when our smiles were easy
...

I’d write you poems with my tongue
An epic or a classic
That flowed as seamlessly as your curves
From head to toe
...

For you I wait
An ancient ageless song
As we pass each other by
Help me understand
...

I marry the bed
When thoughts of you surround me
Drown me
Lost in an ocean of locked doors
...

There’s no falsehood
In her unrelenting beauty
Never a night sky more clear
Than her eyes
...

In loving you
I’ll keep you forever young
With words of gardens
And fresh innocence
...

How do I explain something tangible
Like the breeze against my skin
Just there
Tossing strands of hair
...

Wounded warrior
With your heart
Torn asunder
What have you fought for
...

Keep your fingers crossed
And your eyes closed
Maybe the viper wont strike
Maybe you wont be as deadly this time
...

Watch the stars appear
One by one
Like my tears
Want to set them up
...

You fade out of sight
Like a hundred kisses
In the dark
Multiple locks
...

What reason do I have for mirth
When all I’ve been dealt is false
Does not the maiden have her prince
Or does she look to kill another suitor
...

I listen to Fados
All night
The words aren’t too hard
But I’m Spanish
...
