Black velvet in a guilded frame,
Hung here upon my wall.
Your likeness looks at me each day.
I made sure you can’t fall.

Your festive dress, red, green and blue,
Sails up as round you twirl.
I am in love with what I see,
A lovely dancing girl.

Your midnight eyes and matching hair,
Your smile of crimson too.
These work together in my mind,
I fall in love with you.

The softness of your velvet skin,
The curves beneath your dress.
I stare at you each lonely day,
To relieve all my stress.

I saw you on the street that day,
My heart jumped to my throat.
I had to bring you home with me,
Now I, this rhyme have wrote.

Now Carmelita, hanging there,
A picture that is fine.
This entire planet have I searched,
And now you’re truly mine.
