The famous guitarist Segovia
Was able to strum high and lowvya
With acclaim; so he did
Till his death in Madrid—
And his records continue to moveya.

Lover of butterflies, opals and tulips

D-espite trials, let love stay alive, 
A-llowing it to make it through; 
B-e faithful and devoted, 
O-beying God who orders
Y-ou. 

&

N-ever go separate ways, 
Y-ou must be united to survive; 
M-arriage is created by God, 
F-orever let love stay
A-live.

Natalia Andrea Larranaga Fajardo 

Here lies one who died pitifully
She would have sought anonymity,
But publicity stole away her privacy
She threw herself off a ship at sea.
Trying to salvage her favorite flip-flops
And got sucked into the vessel’s props. 

Written December 4, 2022
[as reported by San Andres, Colombia
newspaper on November 27, 2022]...

The sweetest voice I ever heard 
Belongs to you, pretty Bluebird 
Someday will you sing for me?
My name sung to a melody
That you make up, one all your own
That's just for me and me alone
Vanilla rose would be its scent 
The Kiss its art equivalent 
If you do, through happy tears
I'll love you for a thousand years 
And yours I'll be until the day
My final breath takes me away...

I wish that you could read these
Like other people do
But you don't know these poems exist
You haven't any clue
See Andres has a penname
Who writes quite differently 
Unlike the poems Andres writes
He writes cathartically 

He keeps these poems from your eyes
So you won't have to know
How much sometimes he's hurting
But cannot tell you so
His longing gets expressed in rhymes 
In ways you can't know of
What happened though was not a crime
He simply fell in love...
