Sevilla

I was pleased to have this poem published along with two others in the 'Love & Music' edition of The Writers' Cafe website on February 14th this year. I started writing it when were by the Rio Guadalquivir in Sevilla in October 2015. On the day it was published by The Writers' Cafe we were back there!


Sevilla

(The labyrinths

formed by time

dissolve

from ‘And After’, Federico García Lorca)

Sun on the river

lovers sit on the wall

                (boats row by, turn

                and go back again)

waves slap on the wall

lovers laugh together

                (across the river the cafes

                are opening)

 

songs in the air

lovers kiss on the strand

moon on the river

lovers embrace under the bridge

                (across the river the cafes

                are closing)

boys play guitars under trees

lovers dance beneath stars
