Street Goddess

This I wrote for my fiancee. We meet under strange circumstances that society deems wrong but I feel that some of the greatest things in life come from the unexpected.

There she was on the front page of the news

What an odd place to find my muse

Her face reeked of despair

You could even see it in the messiness of her hair

Handcuffed and prison bond

Her hatred evident in her frown

A crook to the world

Another thief in the universe

A scourge upon the planet

Or so the media would have you believe

I could not help but see the sadness in her eyes

Even with a stare that was hardened from a life of crime

I became curious

I became intrigued

I ignored what the wold would have me believe

I searched for the truth

I wrote her a letter not knowing what she would do

I waited and waited

Never losing patients

I received her letter

A sweet desire to get to know me

I froze 

Not knowing what I may have exposed

I wrote her back thinking this was all fake

She called the very next week

My heart  panicked 

I did not answer 

But she continued to pursue

I finally took the chance 

Secretly hoping for romance

We talked and her voice was so sweet

I wondered how could this be

She truly was a goddess 

A mean street deity

I became addicted to her smile

Her longing to break free

Her hope for a brand new life

That she wished to have with me

Her story was tragic

A victim of societies venomous teeth

I had to have her

So I asked her to marry me

To my delight she finally said yes

June 23rd 2017

I will finally have

My little Latino Heat
