toledo is a walled city how correct that seems for keeping in salida del sol sunrise Tajo is a silent river jade to silver curled in on itself reflecting back we listen to its stillness a witching noise you say escuche listen put your head here sueño ahora dream now déme tú mano give me your hand I cannot dream alone pero the river is ocupado busy looking for you and I am solamente una vez más alone once again not even a thread from your shirt to remind me de tú cara o tú olor of your face or your smell porqué why can the wall not hold you porqué [This message has been edited by The Lady (10-08-2006 03:05 AM).] |

I do detect a love for Spain That lies within your new refrain Such lovely words and so unfeigned Keep writing and I'll read again "The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun |

Ah, Lady, nor rhyme can I and will not til the day I die Words I have to offer are but this hit those lines with a rhythm stick! After this pointless post I will desist I am sorry but I just could not resist. I really do like this a lot, just to add a little purpose to this!

No reason to rhyme when you paint words so very well. And where did you find that skein of ache? You weave it with skill. |

I don't know why I still cringe when I see these of yours, I know they are going to be awesome!! I guess it's the high school memory of failure in that language LOL |

The imagery is absolutely amazing. Your use of singular phrasing echoed by spanish is outstanding. Instead of detracting from the quality, it adds a succulent flavor to the entire work. (I always wanted to use the word "succulent" in a reply and I did! And it fit!) The poem is enchanting and mesmerizing. I repeat what I have said before, you NEED to do a compilation of your work.
