Timorous Anodyne Eyes … 2008-2k13
 

[FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Teal"]
Delicate Tapas together they had
doxy damsel with gray suitor lad

slowly the grand via in gondolas glide
to far off lands, streaking trains ride

slow meander of the river they trace
from every angle Toledo to face

shoulders rub on stage coach bump
side to side giggled in tango of rump

tip toe the narrow cobbled street
In Jewish quarter of Cordoba on feet

at finery of Grenadian palaces gape
also the marvel of Florentine shapes

through churches old and mosques cold
distant life safely tucked and neatly fold

often laughing mindless crazy mad
cautious glances a bit wistful sad

split, distant dance demonic doubts
bring to fore the rub with routs

strange fears prance in anodyne eyes
propped on nameless reflective sighs

we grab the moments as they present
Or on an odyssey have fate, far off sent

timorous side-glances ricochet forever
touch no purpose and relations never
