The Single Woman's Prayer
 

...I wrote this for women everywhere who are looking for “Mr. Right Now!”

Lord send me a man, I am begging you—please!
It’s been oh, so long since I’ve had a good squeeze.

Lord send me a man, not too bald or too hairy
Please don’t make him look like Shemp, or Moe, or Larry.

Lord send me a man, he needn’t be wealthy
Just gorgeous, and smart, and funny, and healthy.

Lord send me a man, and make him so sweet
That he’ll kiss me all over, from nose tip to feet.

I want someone who’ll bring me my breakfast in bed
Just don’t make him so old that he’ll be nearly dead

I want him to be not too tall, short, or fat.
Unselfish and kind, but not a doormat.

A great lover who’ll make love to me all up and down
With a great sense of humor, just don’t send a clown.

I’ve posted my profiles on every dot com.
Although I’m quite desperate, I don’t want an ex-con.

I want him to love me and call me his queen
Please make sure he’s a man, and not an in-between.

I want him to know he’s to be only mine
So I won’t have to send him back posted—declined!

I want someone who’ll know when I’m blue, when I’m sad
And, also to know when I want to be bad.

I’m not asking for much Lord, so please understand
I can’t wait any longer, Lord, I need a man!

 
Mujer de Miel
 
picture of bookMujer de Miel is a poem that I wrote for Menudo: The Play. In the play, the main character, Nicolas, tries to woo his wife, Mona, after a huge misunderstanding where she thinks she has caught him en fragante with their Salvadoran neighbor, Doña Juana. Although it was all quite innocent, Mona is heartbroken. Nicolas’s apologies, only serve to make Mona more angry and suspicious, especially since every time he tries to mend things, he only makes it worse by committing even more bumbling offenses. Of course, the nosy neighbor enjoys her flirtations with Nicolas and could care less if he ever makes up with Mona, whom she considers a cold fish who doesn’t appreciate her husband like a good wife should. Aurora, Mona’s childhood nanny (a repatriate) is now the Garcia familys cigar-smoking, wrestling-loving, Mexican housekeeper. She has advised Nicolas to write a romantic love poem for Mona, a good way for him to do penance for his supposed sins, and find his way back into his wife’s good graces.

It was challenging to write a poem from a man’s point of view, but I was pleased with the results, as apparently were many others. After the play, I often heard it recited to a loved one. I have had many requests to translate it into English. Unfortunately, as is the case with prose and humor, the essence is lost in the translation. I would prefer to have someone familiar with the Spanish language read it to you, and give you their interpretation.

If you have never had a love poem written for you, now you have. Enjoy…

 

Mujer de Miel

Pruebo tus labios dulces,
Mujer sirena, mujer de miel,
Y siento fuegos que me consumen,
Encantadora, mujer de miel

Cuando te miro, siento un suspiro
Que me tortura, mujer de miel.
Me apasionas con tus miradas.
Sueño besando esa piel dorada.
Eres mi adoro, mi gran tesoro,
Mi hermosa dama, mujer de miel.

Sueño contigo a medianoche,
En la mañana, al amanecer,
Me desespera la noche entera
Si no estás conmigo, mujer de miel.

Quiero decirte lo que yo siento,
Mujer preciosa, mujer de miel.
Pero al mirarme entre tus ojos,
Me voy perdiendo en tus labios rojos,
Y poco a poco me vuelves loco,
Mujer de mi alma, mujer de miel.
