威尼斯

未曾拜訪過她的人﹐總希望在有生之年﹐能一親芳澤﹐

而有幸見識過她的人﹐則念念不忘她的倩影。

威尼斯﹐一個令人砰然心動的名字。

無論你 是否見識過她的美。

拿破侖曾說過﹐聖馬可廣場是世界最美的廣場與廳堂﹔

人群和鴿子﹐露天咖啡座和現場樂隊﹐在這裡交織出明信片般畫面。

白天的水城處處皆是遊人﹐風中也盡是一片歡聲笑語﹐

這時的威尼斯就如同美麗的少女﹐熱情而充滿活力。

當夜幕輕輕落下﹐在廣場的轉角處﹐你會看到那座悲傷的嘆息橋﹐

岡多拉不急不徐的划過她的橋底時﹐

一則則淒美的傳說藉由船夫的歌聲緩緩的傾瀉出來﹐讓人不禁唏嘘。

夜晚的水城猶如一位經歷了風霜的婦人﹐

斑駮的牆壁在月色下是歷史的印記﹔

述說著過去這裡曾是多少商賈軍隊的交易爭略舞台﹐

而那一件件華服﹑面具後面﹐又有多少愛恨情仇曾在這里搬演。

然而過去的燈紅酒綠和紙醉金迷﹐

還有那些一則則歷史﹐一段段的傳奇﹐

總有一天會將同這顆亞得里亞海的明珠一起沉入海底。

也許威尼斯只是一個存在夢境中的國度﹐夢醒了﹐一切將不復記憶。

後記 :

很久之前﹐就想寫一片關於威尼斯的文章。

但總是寫了又改﹐改了又寫﹐

始終都寫不出我要的感覺﹐

就像晴雯說的﹐寫(補)雖寫(補)了﹐到底不像﹐但我也不能了。

或許有一天﹐當肚裡的墨水多些時﹐可以再重寫一次吧。

    I love the dainty little shops.
    I love the side-walk cafes.
    I love the rides in gondolas.
    I love you, Venice… but
    I don’t know if I’ll ever have a chance to visit you again.

      I love the suntanned girls and guys at the Lido beach.
      I love the glass-blowers at Murano.
      I love the lace from Burano.
      And I love you, Venice.
      I wish I can visit you again and again.

      1. I love the fresh gelati in a million delicious flavours
        I love the gondoliers singing romantic love songs in Italian
        I love the best tiramisu in the world (even if not the most attractive)
        And I love to return to Venice… with my love in tow.

        I love the glass earrings that I bought in Venice,
        I love my glass of wine when I watched the sunset in Venice,
        I love the wonderful memories I have of Venice,
        And I pray that the Devil & Kenny will have an even more memorable the next time they are in Venice.

        😀

    p.s. The black & white photo is my fave. It got soul.

    1. Yeah, it’s a beautiful shot, isn’t it? It’s taken by one of Devil’s friends. One day, I shall revisit Venice with Devil and we shall take even more photos, more memories together… 🙂
