(this video sparked the following poem)
The architecture
In the nest of a dove
Is lovely to the spectator
That is in love…
We were lost in blue that day
Blue sky and blue sea
But all I really remember
Were your blue eyes watching me
There was sound all around
But we didn’t hear
As the gondoliers hailed each other
I felt your lips on my ear
And the wind swooping through the canal
Rousing rivulets of desire
As the sun fell, a molten ball
Melting across the water
While we glanced sympathetically
At stragglers on the pier
Lost in books and newspapers
Or envious stares...
The architecture
In the nest of a dove
Is breath-taking
To the spectator in love
We didn’t need Venice
To make us smile
But I think Venice needed us
Just for a little while…
