Notes About The Poem

La Alhambra of Granada, (Spain)

Palace from before the XV century, actually is Cultural Heritage of the Humanity. My poem has been inspired by a king that used to live there in the XV century, he was a muslim and he was in love with a Spanish Christian girl. Difficult years for their love.

 

Gardens

The full moon shines 
              over Granada.
                 It lights up
                the beauty 
          of The Alhambra, 
     and its amazing gardens.
       A long time ago a palace,
          where a sad prince 
                used to live.
  Far from his beloved princess, 
                whose love 
     would never be allowed 
                because of 
       their different beliefs.
    It is said that sometimes, 
                you can hear 
            the prince crying, 
          hidden somewhere
          inside of the palace.
    It is said that sometimes, 
             you still can see 
                 those lovers 
            loving each other
         under the moonlight,
      in the stunning gardens 
             of The Alhambra.
         There, where the years
          seem to be stopped 
                with the youth 
             of the sad lovers, 
       whose souls live trapped
                  somewhere
     in those enchanted gardens.
