Tus Pasos

When I first heard your footsteps,

walking through the halls of my heart,

I knew that it was meant to be.

Closer and closer you came, as two hearts

became one, wrapped in satin and lost

within a rapturous romance.

As your warm moist lips, embraced mine,

I became spellbound by your charm. As

strength and weakness combined, time

stood still.

We became two lovers, lost in a torrid

dance of love. Within the ecstasy

of being together. Words became useless,

when only feelings mattered.

Until, I heard your footsteps, I had never

known true love, or the passion involved

in an unconditional romance.

Now I walk down lonely, solitary, streets.

Listening for the sound of your footsteps,

like when we first met. So that one day

again, I may lose myself completely

once more, amidst the torrid pleasures,

of your love!

Besos de Fuego

Your essence reminds me,

of the touch of the finest silk.

Your fragrance, the unique

scent of your body next to mine,

is like the finest aromatic oil.

Your kisses the flames which

flicker within, arousing,

stimulating, ever penetrating

my lips.

Like fuego, you burn within my

heart, setting alight flames of

passion from which I cannot

escape.

Your arms embrace me like

An all-consuming fire, which

unites, and then tears apart

the very fabric of my being.

Helpless, I burn for your love

desiring and yearning for more.

Until finally, I yield to your

intention, and allow Cupids

arrows to hit the mark. Con

tus, besos de fuego!

The Darkness within Your Heart

I stand within the darkness of

of your heart. Your smile, which

once brought light into my world

has long since disappeared.

Walls of indifference now stand

tall between us, not unlike the

coldness of the grave.

My dreams have all abandoned

me, and I yearn for the sunlight

and happiness of days gone by.

Like a flower, planted upon dry

ground, my love has withered

amidst the desolation and neglect

of your remembrance.

For within your affection I am now

forgotten. Unloved and even

scorned, I have now become the

darkness, within your heart.

Te Quiero

As you place your arms around me,

I can’t help but feel that I belong.

Memories gather around, whenever

your hand is in mine.

The sounds of the hood, disappear

whenever you are near, and all I hear

is the beating of two hearts.

Our love was born on dark streets,

amidst the tears and travails of the

concrete jungle.

Millions of people pass us by, but

the only thing that matters is us.

Our love, our hopes, our dreams,

they speak to us, within our need.

So take my hand, through good or

bad times, and let me know you will

be there for me.

Because in the world, and wherever I go,

you live within my soul. And the only

words which will ever mean anything
to me in life, are the words,
Te Quiero!

Te Amo!

I call your name, as I reach out for you.

My thoughts whirl, with the fire and passion

of our love, and I burn for your essence.

Your hands like flames dance upon my body

enticing my heart, and bewitching my soul,

ensnaring me, as I lose all control.

A kiss, so soft, like the petal upon a rose,

triumphs over the thorns of doubt, as

a physical ecstasy is born.

Regrets are cast to the wind, as caution,

becomes a solitary voice calling out in vain
in the forlorn distance.

Our dreams float, like embers into the

darkness of the night. As we become lost

within the passion of the storm.

Until finally, a wounded cry pierce’s

the stillness. And within the shadows of our

souls are heard the words - Te Amo!
