she has never seen him the picaro his face lies on the other side of the wall his smell climbs the tea roses touches her shoulder as she walks by his voice on the calle his darkness fill her with lust his very presence holds her hand on her pale garden path the tradeswomen bustling skirts generous lips whisper her his demon black curls curved red mouth dulce wrists his wanton grasp she clenches her gown in white hands struggling not to think on the sharp canvas of her nun’s bed she paints herself Goya’s La Maja Desnuda waiting in the light surely tonight he will come her fingers cling to the sharp face of dark winds of hunger sweep her waiting naked in her shame she sings herself to sleep with his song ______________________________ pícaro, perhaps from picar, a rogue calle, street dulce, sweet Goya’s La Maja Desnuda, painting by the Spanish master, Francisco de Goya, a nude woman lying on a bed [This message has been edited by The Lady (10-03-2006 04:04 PM).] |

Sorry, my reply was not properly worded... ...the 'gaps' are good, a challenge, make one research, study and find new things...a treasure hunt, so to speak. CG |
