He was born in Puerto RicoStyle strait sweet locoHe has a way with wordI call him most delicious loverWhile other words slip from my tongue like azucarI have to be careful to take him in small dosesNot to overdose on sweetness so potentHe is flyAs birds in V formation heading south seeking sunAs Amazonian passeros passing over wildernessWildHe makes me open as Pacific OceanI was born to swim these watersHe tantalizes my senses with Latino tongueMaking even mundane words sound sexy like candadoSeriously it means padlockI walk in trance locked on himPalms interlacedHe is too smoothI sip off him during droughts of freshnessHe tastes like tomorrowHis eyes envelop tearsI watch them drip silentlyPain does not translate into vocabularyEven for the best of poetsSome things can not be saidLike what it feels like when someone you love takes their own lifeYou live today to save what remains from being lost foreverYour life becomes their legacyAnd EP for eternal memoryA vinylThis is realThis right here..Is real.
