Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
or; "Retrato"

Manos morenas,

dedos largos, estrechos,

uñas pintadas perfectamente púrpureas,

muñeca frágil, delicada,

venas azules.

 

Hombro fuerte,

lleno de energía, alfilado,

cubierto por bufanda negra y gruesa,

piel blanda, oscura,

dulce, salada.

 

Cuello porcelano,

mejillas rosadas con pecas,

labios llenos, rojos, cálidos, plenos,

ojos espléndidos, verdes,

sonrisa única.

 

Te beso.

Perhaps a translation, while it loses all of the intrinsic beauty of the language:

"Portrait"

Brown hands,
long, thin fingers,
fingernails painted a perfect purple,
fragile, delicate wrist,
blue veins.

Firm shoulder,
full of energy,sharp,
covered by a thick black scarf,
soft, dark skin,
sweet, salty.

Porcelain neck,
rouged, freckled cheeks,
full, red, hot, (dammit there's too words for full in Spanish) lips,
splendid green eyes,
one-of-a-kind smile.

I kiss you.

Thanks, by the way, Zoo.

Wow, she really does sound like a beauty.  And an inspiration too.  I like it.
