* *
Under the red umbrella
The young and beautiful Annabella
Small rain drops with shades of blue
A lovely memory to remember with you
The rain that came from above
was pure love
Love, honesty and respect
what we always expect
This summer's night
our first kiss goodnight
The way we feel
always real

Over the flower-strewn lanes
Under the star-studded sky,
Walk with me, my beloved,
My inspiration, my Annabella.
Oh, this soft silence, this silken night
This balmy breeze, this soothing moonlight,
Come, gather me in thy caressing arms
Hence I may forego the cares of the world.
Leaving these fastidious mortals behind
Across the oceans to a far land
Hold my hand, out of love to fashion
a new civilization, O my Annabella.
Against the mankind God created
A world born out of but love,
Against dubious wars, a new peace,
Against chaos, a supreme harmony.
Come, beyond the realm of stars,
Across an unfathomed space,
On an uninhabited planet
Let's begin again, O my Annabella!
"Love in a far off place" contest by Frank Herrera
Chubby face
Angelical eyes
Sweet Annabella
And her charming life
So young
Yet so loved
For nothing at all done
Her wondrous eyes
Always saw in marvel
But saw none of the one
Who held her so close
Such
An innocence so rare
An image of Mary
She is the warmth
That thawed my heart
She is the patience
That taught me love
A mother is strong
But never aggressive
A child is naive
But its advice is wisdom
Let us be so my
Sweet Annabella
she mirrors my movements with her eyes
slow and calculated
darting then stopping
and she looks at me
knowing she is my end all
like velvet in the sun
she strethes out on the sofa
and i tell her
she is my only love
my best friend
my sweet soft dream
i remind her
of how i held her in the palm of my hand
only a few weeks old
smelling of horses and milk
and she wraps herself around me
soft and gentle
and licks the top of my nose
as precious as the first time i saw her
