Because Your Eyes Were Two Flames (Verse XIX) Poem by Jose Marti

Because Your Eyes Were Two Flames (Verse XIX)



Because your eyes were two flames
And your brooch wasn't pinned right,
I thought you had spent the night
In playing forbidden games.

Because you were vile and devious
Such deadly hatred I bore you:
To see you was to abhor you
So lovely and yet so villainous.

Because a note came to light,
I know now where you had been,
And what you had done unseen —
Cried for me all the long night.
