Vampires in Havana


I was soul searching

When I fell in love

With Victor

Two years ago

In Havana

 

I was accepted as a Companiera

A Comrade

 

Holding hands tenderly

Listening to romantic Boleros

At Casa de la Trova

 

Walking on uneven streets in Centro

At midnight

The full moon shone on us

Vampires in Havana

 

I felt love

A slow warm

Glow creeping

All over

 

I looked into his face

His laughing eyes

Bewitching smile

His mixed blood

Intensity and passion
