The splendid view

On the ninth floor

My heart beat

Faster,

Euforia in my lungs

Eyes closed

The swallows 

On my balcony

Nestled in a nest

On the rough wall

The quiet feeling of their

Velocity, faster then sound

Their dancing

In the evening air

I stared for a while

At the red purple sunset

With orange edges,

A fine glass of  “Rioja”

In my left hand

Enjoying the

Wavy azure sea

The love from the south

Balancing into the right rhythm

The sunset waved music

The horizon some notes

In a moment of ecstasy

And pure freedom,

I saw myself sitting,

Smiling, eyes closed again

Leaning back

Senses sharp, 

To the time of all times

Listening, breathing

The music,

The music which never ends

Alive…

      Alise… Ah sí...

Author's Note

One of the many...... observations of a delicious eve in Spain.
Enjoy, Alise means "smooth" in Spanish, but also it has the letters
of my name. X

La musica never ends, in a warm heart...

You have a real way of taking your readers with you on your journeys, Eli. This is a really special place to you and that is easy to see. I love the culture you have brought to this write. It makes me feel like I get to experience it. Your roots go very deep into the words, sis. Thank you for letting us share in this adventure!

Great work, as always :)

Thank you dear sister for your lovely words on this poem. That was exactly what I wanted, taking you all with me, so happy you enjoyed it. :) It are those little things, in life that make it so special :) thanks for your review dear :) X

You brought me there with you Elisa, gazing at the setting sun, living in that moment of perfect peace where all around can be taken in, felt, appreciated, moved...
A beautiful moment dear sister .... Horizon

I'm so happy I could take you with me... that means much to me dear sister. I'm glad you enjoyed this. X

[writing mojo]

way to put yourself in the perfect mix of thought cadence, wine and the view of looking forward and never back in a face cutting wind...good piece

Yes, you felt it, thank you... (the Eli - Brain) positivism, wins..... always, you're great Mr. Mojo!

[writing mojo]

I can't seem to get the stains out of my bright appearance, so I settle for the dark to cover them instead, i guess that's why my T.V. eyes look better with a screen of static with night picture in picture features, the remotes stuffed some where in cushion above my head, I lost it one day, the volume button is missing and the narrator setting stays on full blast in a different language of myself I am beginning to not watch but fully fulfill in the blanks I understand

Now that's the junxtaposition we are talking about.... I often don't understand my dark side, I call the light one, and visa versa... but being in numb state will merge the two, into peace... into beauty into rest.... into sleep, into what is barely not possible for me. (Mostly).
You have night eyes for sure, yes... nightwatcher eyes. Just merge with the language of nothingness, it is a language of emphaty, feeling and real great analogy..... :-)

[writing mojo]

without nothingness there's always sense of something-ness, poet laws of nature of course

Indeed... nothingness is like rebirth... it gives new perspectives. :) I've been to many times into it maybe..... but nothing is for nothing ;-) it did do me good, each time... and I'm curious how many times will follow me, or I will follow time....

[writing mojo]

well put

It is elusiveness, as a lion wants to grap a human being, and instinctively has hunger... why he graps it? why he follow his instincts? why a human, this time? it goes how it is on moments.... and that's most interesting, I think....

[writing mojo]

or maybe it's a longing to be read through newly bred words, i am still at the first stage of training them where /when to stay, s**t, or lay down..

Haha, it is a big mystery to me, still... I'm in the state of the inquisitive soul exploring I guess... I'm raised so free, it blocks my rational thinking sometimes, and get to the point. But it don't mean I don't feel the point, it just has sideways.... like a maze, always... what if's and so on and forth... so good to brainstorm with you. :)

[writing mojo]

glad to be your weatherman

:-)

[Distant horizons]

And no wonder with such a beautiful sunset to behold. Could almost feel the breeze, hear the music and hmm, taste the Rioja :-)
What a beautiful memory to have Elisa. These are those cherished moments of remembering the freedom of being so carefree and alive, in a place that if ot home, then a second home in our hearts.
Beautifully capturing the heartbeat of Espana.

Thanks deary, if you have another footbal competition at Sevilla (too much Rioja, I go speak Italian) LOL , Malaga or near, just beep me ok? we will have fun!! :-) I come over with cervezas and good food.... maybe this year in Portugal already LOL haha our love to you x

[Distant horizons]

:-)
Well if we do make it through past the last 16 against Juve, all the way, which would be a miracle, it is at wembley again I think this year. So we will wait to next year to try and win it :-)
Will beep though if I am ever near there. Tell you to get the rioja ready :-)
(x)

Let's hope we play better than last summer OMG I have truely a trauma of it......... that were lovely gay's in Orange Black sutes, "Almost on High heels" lol with all do respect, I love gays.... but it wasn't football... at all, geez.... I felt ashamed, and the 2 years before, we beated Brazil..... can you imagine? the mood of a Dutch? it is like the wind..... it always depends LOL hahahaha...... totally!!!!! Yes, do BEEP, We would love, will give you details soon if we have booked the travel...... (xxxx)

**** But glad I've ESPANA still ***** so nothing to worry, especially not when I was there LOL it was amazing........ x

[Distant horizons]

When anyone beats brazil, the country parties :-)

It did.... I remember on that day, I guess it was 27th of June 2010 We were At Sealand / Zeeland, with the whole family it was 37 degrees Celcius, too hot to mention, almost 40 degrees, and my dad in law, dunk much Heineken, well we all did.... LOL... we were dressed in Orange and had a lot of fun... best memory ever, first the Dutch played under-dog-alike, but then, the second half, we beated them with 3 goals I remember.... my friend Juliana from Brazil messaged me, she was in tears... whole Rio and Sao Paolo was.... i never forget....xxx

[Distant horizons]

I remember watching it. That is how football should be played and why it is called the beautiful game. We call the Dutch football fans the brilliant orange :-)
When a team beats brazil, it is never a fluke, always deserved

HAHAHA really? I have some ugly photo's of me and Ro, to share one day.... LOL you see a crazy couple, having fun LOL, we are real fans, it's like our peanut butter on our toast..... LOL

[Distant horizons]

:-)
All Dutch are real fans. I thought it was illegal not to be :-)

:-) They really are crazy you know.... haha... when the TV shines in Orange, you know we are on :P :) LOL

[Renée]

Hahaha... maybe in the boot of Italy? ;-) xx

[Everett DeValle]

MMMMM, your words are delectable...I'm sure Spain is beautiful. Lovely words of sentiment, Elisa.

Thank you Ev, this was a moment I truly enjoyed... wrote all down, just now I posted, many more to come within the time... Spain is lovely... I'm already homesick. haha

[Everett DeValle]

I have Spanish ancestry, and British ancestry...two countries I would love to visit would be Spain and Britain...maybe one day, someday...traveling does take its toll...Portugal would be fun, I'm sure Italy, France, Germany, and Greece. I'm sure I'm missing some countries...oh, Ireland, would definitely be fun. :)

Oooh I hope you can Ev, you will enjoy it so much. Not only for the good food, but also the temperature, the whole year, and the nice people. I can say you, they are all worth it ;-) You should just when enough money, and time, take a 6 months, backpacking... (or luxury if you like :D) you would love it here.

[Everett DeValle]

I WOULD Love to backpack it, I'm a rough neck like that...but the dollars to the euros suck...the reason why I never went, I would opt for countries with better value...but metropolis places doesn't excite me more than nature...I've jungle trekked in Central and South America...I would love to do it in Vietnam and Laos...In America, I would love to see Autumn in the Northeast States...stuff like that. Thank you for your thoughts, and you always write wonderfully, Elisa.

I can imagine that... that really sucks yes. Vietnam, and Laos, good choice!! Just keep dreaming, like we live the dream Ev.... it is most beautiful, and dreams come true... believe me! :D Thank you for your lovely thoughts, and talk tonight! I hope once you get there! and I get a postcard :) :)

[Everett DeValle]

Definitely, I am going to those countries...Vietnam and Laos...and Britain, just to trace my grandma's family name, The Caytons...just look for a family to tell me to F off LOL, okay, check of my list lol JK.

Postcards are nice...I will virtually? lol :)

Nite nite.

Wow, that is so nostalgic and special, I guess it makes things complete, one day I will go too to Indonesia, and the old home of my grandfather and mother... (now all lived by Chinese people). I am so curious, where they have walked, bought food, etc etc... In Spain, I have been twice a year almost... but it remains each time so special... roots are roots, no matter what.... you feel whole when you're there. HAHAHAHA I love your humor, well I guess they won't ... ;-) (it's your little fear) but don't have... just go.... enjoy! live... 300 % :D Virtually is cool, I just didn't dare to gave you my adres anyway LOL ;-) Night buddy :P :)

[Everett DeValle]

Ha ha ha, it would be funny if and when I go, and I found the caytons and I say "Hey, are you the Cayton Family?" They reply, "Why yes, we are the caytons, who the bloody hell are you? F off you lil bugger." I reply, "Um, okay, Thank you for your time." lol Check off my too do list...I'm off to see the stone henge. :)

Nite.

You know, I thought the same... when I would go, I will get a lot of Chinees foodies, and they talk Chinees to me, and I don't understand, LOL I had visions of this.... ha ha ha, I know how you're feelin' haha.... I can happily civilized eating with chopsticks though :D

[Everett DeValle]

LOL awe, I think you'll be fine, if you speak indonesian...Chinese acclimate very well in new environments while retaining their heritage, meaning they speak Indonesian. Chopsticks are easy to get a hang of, I'm proficient...ever hear the story of Geishas with red lipstick on discipline to never smudge while eating one single rice off a chop stick...its an amazing site...I use fork when I eat asian foods lol...I know, so sad. lol

Yes, they do, a bit... :D haha buddy you make me laugh, when I ate Indo with a fork, my grandmother got really angry haha, at least I should use a spoon... LOL JK, I like the way you have the things they are in real life, without shame. Beautiful. You're right... I know this story, that is pure art, well I'm a red lipstick wearer, I should try it next week at the Sushi restaurant :) I"m going... good exercise, not to drop the sushi, and then the wasabi sauce, thanks for the tip LOL, looking forward to it, my hubby will laugh his a*s off ..... haha I can't wait to see his face... " What the h... are you doing??? " just take a fork..... :D x

[Everett DeValle]

LOL, I LOVE Sushi...I can eat by the tons...its expensive here in America though. :(

I'll wear red lipstick too, see who doesn't smudge with a chop stick first lol jk.

I better go...nite nite, Elisa.

HAHAHA, deal!!! that would be fun! :D goodnight dear friend, take care of yourself, and tomorrow I shall read more of your book! By Ev :)
