Modesty and Pride by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Modesty and Pride

Flattery you’ll do without
With all your decorations
Wearing beauty in and out
I’m begging for your invitations

Because I need to tell you right
I need to let you know, my dove
I find myself rich with your light
Looking into those eyes of love

Attracting me with tenderness
With passion strong in every kiss
I cannot ration your caress
When you are all I miss

In flattery, I try my best
For I admire what you hide
And you’ve declared me as a guest
With modesty and pride
