Spanish Guitarra

by Sugarray77

His fingers brush across the strings
awakening dull aching pains
soft, reminiscent Spanish strains,
as nightly his guitarra sings
old Andalusian sad refrains.

The gentle thrumming as he plays
recalls ill-fated summer days;
when two young lovers walking slow,
beneath la luna's milky glow,
were forced to go their separate ways.
