Habaneras Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Beauty, Her Fautor, I

Amber rays; she lights up his countenance
And it greys when she's gone
But my colour is my creator's lot

When she walked by his heart 
It habaneras to its rhythm
And as usual, I just enjoyed the interplay 

She is Aphrodites, personified
He is her faithful fautor
And I am the created creator

But on dooms day, the creator 
Shall judge not only beauty 
And her fautor; but also I
