in toledo el Greco paints again spring is an explosion de flores of flowers fiestas Spanish cielo sky absorbing life viejo cementerio weeds so tall I beg my way through to find what I don’t want faded gris verde blanco gray green white stone shaped like my heart letters faint mi picare mi padre mi barco mi amor my rogue my priest my boat my love en ese mismo momento la memoria at that very moment the memory speaks blando cantando soft singing aquí miente tú vida tú corazón here lies your life your heart small toes peeking dark eyes that know the reason I am in Spain Maria Isabel steps from silent grief con rosas white and pink y con dos besos two kisses one for each cheek it bleeds your heart si? llore cry mi dama es bueno es su razón it is good it is your reason para españa for Spain ven aqui muchacha come here girl but la niña is gone Moorish Spring of Tears seizes my throat still even in Spanish I cannot cry |

Beauty shines in your work. It is purely poignant and your words wrap around me and hold me as I read. a |

Hi, TL, " here lies your life your heart... ...still even in Spanish I cannot cry" Purely magical...heartbreaking but magical. Also, intertwining the two languages, Spanglish, if you will, gives the whole write a distinctly lyrical quality. Well done, a beautiful write. John xo Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky: try to take over the world! |

Lady I remember my Spanish words with sky and love, and yes, the heartbreak. Lovely, emotive and lyrical, this. |
