This poem is set to a swing beat at about 90 bpm kind of like a beatnick poem.
(just snap your fingers as you read)

              CASTILLIAN:

How I feel towards you

          Can't never be expressed

You see my love,

          My words of passion,

Are spoken

         In a foreign tounge

The Castillian tounge

          Of my forefathers

Well…

          More of a contemporary Spanglish really.

All of my ugly dirty words…

          In English

All of my lovley beautiful words…

          In Spanish.

The tradjedy is,

          You were born

To hear all of my Spanish words

           But you only understand

The English words.

           I'm sorry.

A beautiful one indeed! I'm glad to see you are able to express your self so freely. And I must say that Spanish is a prettier sounding language. (I suppose that is why it is deemed a "romance language") Anyways, it was wonderful! Keep it up! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~

p.s. Bienvenidos!!

Love it!!!!!
Fate deals us a hard blow sometimes, restricting us to the things we can and can't express. Lucky for all of us you can express them on paper. Hope to see more from you soon.
