Bohemian Girl

There was a Rock band playing hard but I didn’t hear them

flashes of lights in the screaming crowd but I couldn’t see them

only your face, drenched in beauty beaming in the middle

pulled your curls over your right ear so I could talk to your dimples..

 

...then I stood there in your eye’s gaze, swirling in a maze amazed

in wonderland, minus a white rabbit and a white man in a top hat

to get back to the land of the sane, to hear my name in your voice

was insane, no matter how many drinks we already had.

 

Bohemian eyes, green lights, curly black hair with shades of brown

condensing in your forest sight, setting fire to the entire Amazon

hanging on to the ring that barely bitterly bites your bottom lip,

trying to squeeze that melancholic bohemian smile in-between.

 

Ripped jeans at the knees, cinnamon skin, low-cut blouse

rockin’ to the guitar’s string, to string me along a flower child

promised to write you a poem while in my mind you were still fresh

even if I didn’t kissed your lips, with my skin I touched your breath.

 

Then we talked about things while the eavesdropping moon was near

you had a man, it was clear, but that went in and out the other ear

maybe I’ll never see you again, so I’ll take that with a shot of sorrow

because it was no longer yesterday bohemian girl, it was tomorrow.
