Carmenita Poem by BEAU GOLDEN

I've been to the place where the women are perfect
But no one will give you the time
When you get to the point where you're deeply in love
Life can lose reason or rhyme

Carmenita was loving a man twice her age
And this wouldn't be half bad
But the man that she loved wasn't any old man
The man was whom she called her dad

I witnessed it first when he kissed her hello
And again when he kissed her goodbye
The way that they touched made me turn away
My heart felt great pain that day

Falling in love is traumatic at best
An ordeal we don't readily choose
Because love is a battle that some will win
And some will have to lose

Carmenita was deeply in love with her dad
When i knew just why i was deeply sad
Im not just creating a story it seems
She shared with me nightmares
They weren't just dreams

I feel for Carmenita and her blue silk purse
A love so deep and unresolved within her life's curse
