Carmen

Pretty as a picture Arriving just in time A-light a bright future Wrapped around a vine Carmen threw a bum a dime Her overflowing tears Touching her wavy black hair Just a girl with a list of fears Like weeds growing wild in a flower bed Carmen's pain ran deep and pure Upon a rooftop oasis Authors their love to share A babbling tower of staring faces A door unlocked and released her cares Carmen drifted away unto her cure Blessed in a land supreme Of stone plazas and odd fashion There she stood as if a dream In living color and with bold passion Carmen's image is forever captured
