Sexy Mexicana

Sexy Mexicana
Walking among sunlight flowers
Little brown body in bloom
Like an exotic garden
Of forbidden fruit
Enticing every appetite.

I’ll see you in the night
Swaying in the starlight
Your skirt more powerful and red
Than a bullfighter’s cape,
No man can escape your allure
Even if death is in the street
Or beside your bed
Or knocking at your door.

Dreams drip form your eyes
Like summer mist or moonlight,
There’s a poet in tears
Chasing down elusive words
That Sappho or Shakespeare never heard
Unsuccessfully seeking to describe
The intensity of kissing
Your necklace throat.
