She stopped,
A flick of a curl.
I hesitated.
What kind of girl?
Ah–Music, Merengue,
Alluring cinnamon skin–
Murmurs all over
of love again.

- Comment from author about the poem: Piel Canela in Spanish is skin with a cinnamon tone. A musical mambo by that same name was popularized by Puerto Rican singer songwriter Bobby Capo in the 1950's. Merengue is a type of music and dance that originated in the Dominican Republic but is popular throughout Latin America.

"of love again" Augustus, you are certainly most blessed. Beautiful piece.
Thanks my brother. I count them every day.
Love this short yet to the point ..one who uses less words speaks with their heart fantastic best regards my friend x
Thanks Tyler. I've got a long winded one I'm working on, however. But I do like brevity. I spend half my time figuring out how to cut words out.
A short-line sensation of romantic intrigue - great read.
You got it! And the intro from the author denotes this as "fantasy". At my age the lady in the photo would barely give me the time of day. Thanks.
Thanks "A" ~ A very sensuous poem ameliorated with a perfect picture. I love the taste and scent of Cinnamon ~ BUT ~ the taste and scent of "Piel Canela" would put me on a higher Astral Plane ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ BRIAN
Yes, she is out of this world. Thanks.
