GARDEN OF THE ANDALUSIAN POETS

It came, first pure,
dressed in innocence;
and I loved her like a child.
Then she went on dressing
i don't know what clothes;
and I hated her without knowing it.
She became a queen
lavish with treasures...
what a rage of gall and senselessness!
But she began to undress
and I smiled at her.
She kept the robe
of her ancient innocence.
I believed in her again.
And she took off her tunic
and appeared naked all naked.
oh passion of my life, poetry
naked, mine forever!

Poem by the author Carlos Murciano and which is located in the beautiful passage of the Andalusian Poets.

Estepona

Sonnet to say about Estepona

That great clarity that rains the sky
over the Mediterranean, raises
a blue bird that goes forward and sings
and banishes tears and mourning.

It is not like that: it is a light that goes on flying
and that magically grows larger,
before resting its light plant
in the somnambulist rose of the ground.

That ideal light becomes a person
and walks the streets of Estepona
sowing them with glory and joy.

To understand its most secret keys,
come to the Garden of the Poets
and you will know how Andalusia dreams.

The Poem
(Homage to JRJ. in Estepona)

what is the rose ?
It is a heart in the air
of light and scent.

what is the rose ?
It is the little sister
of the dawn.

what is the rose?
The rose is the sonnet
of the flora.

what is the rose?
The queen on a throne
of wounding thorns.

what is the rose?
A smile
and a red tear.

Touch it no more,
or it'll shed its leaves.

Antonio Hernandez
