Ageless...

A smile that warms the heart,
     with an honest and open face
     where you can read every emotion
     as if were written on vellum   
     by an Egyptian scribe...
Beauty as timeless as the Nile,
     the Fertile Crescent of your mind
     is growing and coming to know
     the things real, the emotions you feel
     have been unchanged since Time began,
     since the Sphinx yawned in the hot sand...
Una de La Raza, gente de mi gente...
No importa donde voy,
     siempre lo encuentre...
Digame en nuestra lenga
     que ambiciones tengas
     y adonde te va llevar la vida...
Yet again, the decades loom
     seems I am always the oldest
     in any room...
Just want to let you know
     not quite ready for the tomb,
     these eyes recognize beauty
     wherever I find it...
