Best Seguidilla Poems

I try to take a selfie,
but it saddens me!
The face from my good old days
I no longer see.
“A Wrinkle in Time"
could be MY cover's title
now I’m past my prime!

Lovely ecstatic new day

Slowly came upon

Sun's luminous radiance

Having heard at dawn

Dark night's awful scream

As new moon's obscurity

Shattered lovely dream.

The night has arrived quite dark
The rain has just passed
Midnight has struck, a puddle
Spreads on pavement dressed
By the light beyond
Harken the lamp does express
Water on the ground

Soundless shadows on pavement:
What does the night bring?
Is love now just a mirage?
Why does my soul sing?
Reflections entrance,
allure in the dimmest light:
a mystery dance.

Lamplight reflects in puddles,
mirrors of my soul.
Opaque shadows on pavement,
now darkness the goal.
Reflections abstruse
underneath a glowing light,
my heart thus confused.

She loves me,...

I walked the lonely dark streets,
I had not a friend.
HE  had pushed them all  a w a y
I ran in the end- 
It was midnight, how 
I prowled like a lost stray cat
but I smiled - MEOW

Midnight in droplet puddles
murky cobble stone
after a crisp whiz of rain,
men sound left alone.
Portal kept silence
into a magical dew
of faint world's absence.

Youth’s portraits beam with allure
but they are no more,
my beauty-queen years now gone
like time rushed off shore.
Though prints wilt away
grand moments of fame remain
loving aged hours' sway.

Old sepia photographs
of our wedding day.
Fifty happy years have passed, 
now my hair’s turned grey!
You still hold my hand
telling me I’m so pretty 
true love is so grand!

Lovers walk on cobblestone
in a silent night
under lantern's amber glow
shadows meld so tight
whispers won't deny
when a Midnight rain is brought
to a softer sigh

It was during days of yore, 
       when I was divine,
beaming and bright with rapture,
                    making splendor mine-
Elegant with lure,

Soaked street reflects in silence,
puddles absorb paint,
memories of movement, still
moonglow of a saint.
Hushed squeals of a child -
lamppost relaxes. No boots
splashing midnight. mild.

     Summer dims, the sun hangs low;

     Autumn's on her way.

     Leaves must fall and snow will fly:

     seasons have their say;

     warm, hot, cool,...

Alone on cobblestone streets
Silence engulfs me
A lonely strike at midnight
Reflections I see
Puddles with streetlights
Pulling my heart underneath
Drowned by shades of white

I travel time backward fast
Reach the home I left
The young picture on the wall
My beauty it kept
Past smiles on my face
I tell time let me live now
In my nice old place.
