As I lay here in the arms
Of my beautiful young lover
I'm thinking about the times
When I was so far from her.
How I missed her tender lips
That I would kiss the whole night through,
The curvature of her hips
And the Flower between them, too.
Ah, yes, her fruitful Flower
I have succumbed to many times.
Her nectar has the power
To take control of all my mind.
I've never been less a man,
Yet never been a man so much,
But weak I will always stand
By her debilitating touch.
Her fair skin just slightly graced
By the shining rays of the sun.
Last night, her midnight hair, laced
By the light of the silvery moon.
And her eyes were like the stars
That shined so brightly in the sky.
She is also like the stars
Within her, a fire burst inside.
And I love how joyful tears
Trickle down the sides of her nose.
I've seen many through the years
Flow to her lips, red as a rose.
Undulating past her chin
Drying before reaching her neck.
Her arms I'm held within
Are the safety net for this wreck.
A soft pillow are her breasts
Foe me to lay my weary head
And for my hands to caress
When we are together in bed.
Her stomach will hold the life
We both so long and have hope for.
One day she will be my wife
And my child, the life she will bore.
I love the bread of her thighs
Her legs wrapped tight around me
My name she whispers and cries
In our moments of ecstasy.
After we're cooled by the night
From our exhausting love fest,
I pull her close and hold tight
And me both are at last at rest.
So never will this wretch say
That a love, I will never know
For here in the arms I lay
With her 'neath "El Cielo Rojo."
