This is also a song you can listen to I wrote and it was recorded in the Canary Islands of Spain a couple of months ago. But out of about 20 people who have listened to it in recording studio, only one listened close enough to know what the lyric is about. And I do not like having to explain a song, so I guess I have to go back and do a serious re-write, as most people, nearly all people simply did not hear what I was writing. The only hint I will give is that it is not about my love, or anyone's love, for a black girl. It is a beautifuul song anyway, and you can hear it and see my video either on my poetry website, http://www.vbdosa.com or you can do the same on Youtube by searching vee bdosa and then cross my heart. It is one of those very rare poems I have written that most people just do not get the message. sigh.
CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
Black Lady, I have loved you,
all of my life, I've loved you,
some things won't change and they're what nobody sees.
I feel the wind, it's blowing,
where I am always going,
I'll be the sunlight flashing love through the trees.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
I hear the forest calling,
sweet summer rain is falling,
Black Lady there are no more things I should see,
life will go on to something,
though it has come to nothing,
all of my life I've reached for things that can't be.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
Some night when God is speaking,
I'll feel his love around me,
I'll end it all and I guess this is why;
reaching the highest pleasure;
living the great adventure;
all of my life, is invitation to die.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
