Cordoba Nights - a poem by Chris Zachariou

A virgin bride fantasizing about a Moorish lover on before her wedding night – Poetry by the Cyprus Poet Chris Zachariou
wild black curls


A fierce wind scorches Cordoba
    tonight
lewd and shameful like a voracious lover.

Crawling in through doors ajar and open
    windows
it caresses all hungry lovers entwined
the tortured old and the restless young.
