In the eyes of an angel emerald skies are embedded
With every wonder of tomorrow’s lost sunsets
Maria Maria
Where have you gone?
Where has the bella of my youth drifted away to?
Is there any hope that I may lay my eyes upon her again?
Maybe the winds will whisper again to me
As they did that night that I last saw her
And with a gentle voice tell me how to find her
Maria Maria
Is there any other place that you belong, besides here in my thoughts?
Perhaps you may belong in my arms
For once I had a dream that we were distant lovers
Yet that’s when I awoke to the sounds of a Spanish guitar
And the sight of an emerald sky.

beautiful longing — soft and sweet.
the calling of her name – wonderful use of repetition – and then waking to the guitar – lovely – K
a wonderful feel to find infinite space in the beloved's eye and the loss lends a very sad tune to the lines….beautifully penned
The repetition of her name heightens the sense of longing and her present absence … exactly the type of thing that deiberatley using repetition is so good for.
I remember that Santana song… repeating the same name.. and I think it works very well to recall a love from the youth no matter how she's dissapeared… people change and they leave… I hope you find her.
