I walk the Spanish roads <br />And watch the ghosts smile as they walk by <br />What was I <br />Before you <br />What will I be <br />Finding the road back to you slowly <br />Searching slowly <br />So we’re both sure there wont be any bad bumps <br />During our nights <br /> <br />I pass my reflection and I realize <br />Al I need is a compass pointing North <br />A few penny well wishes <br />And a Tarot Lovers card <br /> <br />If I passed a fortune teller <br />I’d sing her the song burning my heart <br />For a glimpse of destiny <br />Damn me for returning to you <br />Not as I was <br />For taking the long road back <br />Slowly <br /> <br />You know in the prison of your skin <br />You hold my truth <br />Like the roads I walk hold ghosts <br />I watch the Pirates walk with Ladies <br />The peace and the smiles <br />I know I’d only be able to find in you <br /> <br />I strip the memories naked <br />Til there’s a ghost that looks like you <br />Walking beside me <br />Nothing like the others <br />More perfect <br />In an imperfect human kind of way <br /> <br />I feel the sand shift beneath my feet <br />As I drink the sea <br />If I screamed <br />Do you think the wind would carry it along <br />To you slowly <br />If we have eternity <br />Why rush <br /> <br />As the moon settles over this Spanish town <br />I settle a cup of something stronger than me <br />Against my lips <br />There’s a dropp of cherry red <br />Tangling with your name <br />But as I settle with the crowd <br />I bite back tears quickly <br />Family <br />But they’d never know <br /> <br />I’m just a ghost <br />Finding my way back to you <br />Slowly<br /><br />Alejandro Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slowly-14/
