On the red forefront off the shores of Spain
The tan bricked alleys
Moved North and South, East and West
With their crimson and beige based doors
Harboring the sounds and joys
Of the saloons and restaurants

The sky was like the pollen
Floating around the city

Black heels echoed off the pavement
With purse strings swishing with the air
Like small necks of rain
As the midnight black motorcycles rode by
Like a soft gaze that never turns away

Wristwatches and rings
Cohibian cigars drafting with the wind
Olive skin underneath white button down shirts

Oh, the pleasant winds of Spain
With their sharp days
And easy trends of night
So fluid and rich in color
As if you were placing the map of the world onto your heart.

The colors of the sky seem to change
As the hours come and go
Like the smooth satin colors of the Churches arches

Even when the shore cannot be seen because of the dark
The city still lives on
For it is here
Just off the shores
That life begins each and every day.

Spain is like my metaphor for all the places, the cities I have not known, but would have enjoyed learning to love them or hate them.

And I'm talking like it's over. (*smile*)

Maybe one day...thanks for this.

Surely, Serenity.  Plenty of time to travel and see many different countries.  Safe travels

Cheers
