Qasr Al-hamra<br />
Sand and light and stone and life in<br />
Water flowing, water frozen<br />
Green, starry stalactites dim<br />
But time spares beauty’s reflections<br />
Nature’s harmonies in stone<br />
Jewels’ geometry in trees<br />
Mirrors made from music’s bones<br />
Poetry carved by the breeze<br />
Red palace, heart of the mountains<br />
Jewel of the forests of my soul<br />
All that’s outside, I see within<br />
Its streams that water the whole world<br />
Alhambra<br />
We’re just camping in the ruins<br />
of our dark fathers, disavowed<br />
like last night’s kiss on our cheek’s skin<br />
their traces call, profound and proud<br />
The architecture of our minds<br />
Calligraphy, obscured by time<br />
Gardens barren, fountains run dry<br />
Dimly reflect the evening sky<br />
Perhaps sun’s rain will wash away<br />
The years of rust’s gaudy decay<br />
And once more fill the morning halls<br />
with the Music inscribed on the walls<br />
