Mediterranean Morning
Jul 6th, 2009 | By Carlton Lloyd Smith | Category: Poetry | 346 viewsCastilian Queen rising,
rising with the
Mediterranean morning sun
Your modern Ozymandias
fades in the memory of men,
even as he lives in your smile
and walks in the light of your
Spanish eyes
As Venus sits her perch
above the sea to
view the daybreak,
the Barcelona beach sings
the song of your loss,
the silhouette that washes
away with the waves
once was (only) yours
He can still be seen dancing
in the flash of your deep
brown eyes, and the slow
stifle of your sad smile
But for you it is morning
And the red reflection spilling,
spilling on the Catalonian coast
is (only) yours

This will always be one of my favorite poems. I love the
way you so perfectly and unknowingly described the
summer of my first heart breaking loss on that Barcelona shore
It will always remind me of being the Castilian Queen with
the Spanish eyes and sad smile in your poem.
