He breathes the perfume
of a Spanish Jasmine night,
and is intoxicated
by the exquisiteness
of her beauty.

There, he melt's in the
candlelight of her eye's,
eye's of incandescent blue,
yet, changes to blue-violet
whenever he whispers,
"Esperanza."

'Tis Sangria lip's, flamingo pink,
tempting him with passion,
passionate fruit,
aching to be kissed.

Along the slender
branch of her neck,
he whisper's, word's of art.
  String's of guitar wind's,
send a chill down the spine
of the dark.

Whilst the dreamy tempo of the star's
Bolero across the sky,
she surrender's unto him
in the fragrance of the night.

Still,she says,
"She loves him"
and then,
"She loves him not"

The dew upon the stem of morn,
melt's, like chocolate sorbet,

She says,
"Please come here"
and then,
"Please go away"

  Perfume of a Spanish Jasmine night
linger's in the light of dawn,
and he again whisper's,
"Esperanza."


(inspired by my grand-daughter Esperanza)

Your poem is lovely, and I adore the spanish flair and colorful images.  Such a gorgeous name your grand-daughter has.  

A true beauty, V~

Thank you Jo and Ida. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for peeking in. I wrote one Asian poem a while back and one with a French flavor and I thought I would do a Spanish poem this time, especially because of Esperanza.
