Winter's Magic 1-8-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter’s Magic
Winter wizard casts cold spells with gusto
As torrents of snowstorms dance flamencos
Champagne confetti drifts in bits of snow
Clear technicolor snowflakes spin aglow
As winter winds enchanted spells now sow
Bright snowfall’s glitter – solstice nights light show
Meadows and boughs bewitched by snowy ghosts
Wear sparkling blankets for enchanted tableaus
Hypnotic flurries weave to and fro
In the trance of crystal ice chateaus
All the world wears an enchanted chapeau
Winter magic captured in a snow globe.

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes brushed the intricate parquet
Carmel was swept off her feet to the clanging tunes of Flamencos
A pink flamingo swapping kisses and castanets high above the floor
Gypsy tattoos on her ankles swirled like Derwish’s ecstatic devotion
Cocaine eyes wide open on her man but tonight femme was fatal
Titanic brazier squeezed her bosom into fake contours ready for the kill
Thanks to her doctor her uplifting bottom implants softened the crush
Champagne flute shards mixed with botox as she lost her superior stand
Wiped seductive smiles off her face and mingled lip stick with blood
When she woke up from her dream it was not her gigolo lover who
Spoke softly through the daze of morphine and anaesthetic delirium
‘Ma'am I am sorry that I could not save the ink adorning your tootsie
And I will have to refer you to the guy from the plastic department
For you boobies’ reconstructive surgery to recover their natural shape
But your stilettos are out of this world ‘though they scraped a few bones
Do not worry unduly though because the footloose jewels cover my bill’

Unter tiefblauem Himmel
Aufragende Schneegipfel der Anden
Aufgereiht wie Perlen
In glitzender Pracht in der Sonne
Die Salzseen und rosa Flamingos
-----------------------------------------------
Under bright blue skies
Towering snow peaks of the Andes
Beaded like pearls
In glistening splendor of sun
The salt lakes and pink flamingos
-----------------------------------------------
Bajo un cielo azul profundo
Pingorotudos picos nevados de los Andes
Alineadas como perlas
En brillante esplendor del sol
Los lagos de sal y rosados flamencos

For me it is usually a comforting sight,
stars of diamonds illuminating the sky,
it reminds me of thousands of flamencos dancing in the night.
They twinkled so sadly, as if they knew
i could find no joy in their beauty
for tonight he has the flu
Send to him your shine so brilliant
oh wonderous ones
for tonight he's not so resiliant.
His face will seranade my dreams tonight
get well soon my lovely Francisco
My beautiful Castilian knight
