Sweet Elegance

She looks out of her balcony window where landscape gardeners sow the seeds of mother earth,
Shady trees near refreshing fountains and a wine glass in her hand.
She glances at the long stretching foothills of beyond,
Plush Tempranillo grape vines growing by the pond.
Joy shines out of her ivory white skin and her brandy brown eyes,
As she holds the curtains wide open to absorb the light of the cloudy gray sky.
She caresses the fine veins of her wrist where her Castilian blood flows,
And flirts with her wine glass as her passion for life grows.
She’s a lady of the Gardens with Spanish essence,
Seductive aura, Sweet Elegance.
She’s the gem of the province, and every prince’s first bid,
She’s a descendant of European Latin and the queen of Madrid.
She loves from the heart but plays with black aces,
She’s traveled the world and dined in fine places.
Both Dukes and Earls all desire her kiss,
They aim for her approval but they always miss.
They blame the son of Jupiter and curse the stars above,
Their ego’s cry in agony because they can’t win her love.
-David Arredondo
