Spanish silver eyes dream of summer nights <br />Lovers entwined like cathedral candlelight <br />Brusque bas-relief pastels of open space <br />Poetry rhymes in cadence of world art <br />Pilgrims of fine luster from a grand age <br />Walk quietly amidst Mediterranean stars <br />Mountain villages rest serene by the sea <br />Preserved time felt keenly on every street <br /> <br />Barcelona is a vision that always haunts me <br />Picasso’s world where the old and new meet <br />Catalonia a separate place in space and time <br />Hear the tide roll and feel the fire of soul <br />Hemingway hears bells drinking Spanish wine <br />History and wars like visions of Goya grow <br />I sit by the sea listening to a Spanish Guitar <br />Singing like the winds of Madrid from afar <br /> <br />Tonight Spanish winds caress lover’s hearts <br />As we gaze at the wondrous light of the stars<br /><br />Joseph Narusiewicz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spanish-winds/
