A Spanish Shadorma

in Madrid 
lived a dark-eyed boy -
Eduardo

like my youth
that young, wild man *tan guapo
vanished from my life

*tan guapo = so handsome

eduardo was his name, silly. Eduardo Collado Romero. I still remember after all these years. People in Madrid tell me that he disappeared after I left. Nobody has seen him in Madrid since. it's a mystery to me!

A glimpse into the memory bank leaves emptiness with no one to thank. A spanish boy who caught your eye. Disappeared from sight, did you cry? :)

ow.... this is wonderful! we are using some Spanish words in our country and it's quite easier to pronounce than other languages. Most Spanish men are also handsome (smile). Thanks for sharing this poem, Andrea and thanks for your wishes. I love Celine D's songs. Good luck always in all the contest here. Have a blessed-day!!!! luv, leonora
