I Close My Eyes
I close my eyes, so I can shut out the noisy whispers and glares.
I close my eyes, so I can feel my breath.
I close my eyes, so I can see his feet moving beneath his heart.
I close my eyes, so I can free the demons that govern my day.
I close my eyes, so the music can seep through my veins.
I close my eyes, so I can find the music in the silence.
I close my eyes, so I can let my feet sing.
I close my eyes, so my heart can tell you things.
I close my eyes, and I take refuge in your home.
I close my eyes, and I let you care for me.
I close my eyes, and I hold you closer for the last refrain.
I close my eyes, and I pray that we'll love like this again.

I loved this, really beautiful...
Incidentally, I love the illustrations to your posts... are they yours???
Thanks La Tanguera! : )
Most of the illustrations in my posts are by Fabian Perez. This particular one is by Jan Rae.
the tango addiction!!!
dear eva,
are you fluent in spanish? if so, there was a tango lyrics competition, where anyone from all over the world can submit poetry. if selected, their poetry will be put to a tango composed by a leading tango composer. the only rule is that the poem is written in spanish.
i think the deadline for the first competition was july 15th, but you should enter for the next one! here is the link:

xoxo,
la nuit.
Thanks Nuit!
Can you please resend the web address? That one doesn't seem to be working. I am not that fluent in spanish unfortunately. Maybe I'll get a cute translator to help. : )
Thanks again for the 411!
dear eva and malena,
urgh, yeah, the site isn't working. i saw the ad in ReporTango magazine (julu-august 2007 issue, "astortango" cover), and made sure i typed it right... maybe it was a typo in print?
and i couldn't find anything about "escribeirte" on google either. i wish i spoke spanish... sorry.
:(
No problem. Thanks for the thought! : )
Besos
Most probably it is already late for the contest, but the website's correct spelling was www.escribirte.com.ar.
I checked the RT from June-July it was correctly spelled there.
New tango lyrics contest.
deadline is Jan 31 2008.
