Soul-Mates

Soul-mates


         In the quiet of the night, during
         angels' whisperings.
         I am on the streets of Rio, in
         my Sambista outfit dancing and
         feeling like a queen.

         The crowds wild, the Latin Beat.
         Gleaming confetti in my hair and
         between the toes of my toes and 
         feet.


         Happiness, utterly boundless
         as the parade goes on.
         My partner, Orfeo and I happily
         exhausted find a grassy hill.



         Watching the soft Rio sunrise.
         We the eternal, Orfeo and his
         Eurydice.
         Exhausted, in love and divinely
         still.

Ah, Elaine, thank you. Join me the Samba of life. If you can, watch Black Orpheus or Orfeo Negro on You Tube. I think the movie was made in the early 60's. All in Portugese with English subtitles. Music will have you dancing all over your house! Let me know if you ever watch it. It's a complex movie but OMG, what a love story.
