She Walks The City Streets


She walks the city streets 

in the silence of dark   

the woman with lost dreams  

and a broken heart. 

 

Searching for the meaning of love 

while moving like the wind  

I touched the color of her emotions  

on white pearl strings. 

 

She was often mistreated  

scarred soul from life 

Beautiful, walking in summer evenings  

as she passed me by.  

 

She was from East Harlem  

Spanish, enamored of her 

the irony of loving a harlot 

Strange fate, the tale of allure.  

 

She seemed to chase illusions  

on elusive wings 

the bitter-sweet fusion  

shattered her dreams.  

 

She walks the city streets  

in the silence of dark  

the woman who lost her crown 

truly, the queen of my heart.
