Spanish Love Songs
We danced
I entranced
by the succulence of your lips
your hips
swayed
as the band played
a Spanish tune
soon
my anticipation would meet our desires
and a fire
once contained
would burst aflame
illuminating the night
I fight
to regain a modicum of self control
and yet
being somewhat bold
I allow my hand to brush
against your breasts
a test?
how far will I be allowed to go?
you smile
and I stand bewitched and beguilled
I file
the moment
your succulent lips
the hips
that sway
the promsise of a foray
into your gorgeous garden
eating of a ripened fruit
containing the sweet nectar of the gods
Apollo, Isis and Zeus
a truce
my friend
for, until this Spanish Love Song
ends
we cannot begin
to send
messages our bodies long to receive
and so, for now,
I shall let you breathe
a brief reprieve
if you will
to chill
and contemplate
the love we most certainly
shall make
I peer into your eyes and imagine
a lake
canopied by tress and ferns
two bodies intertwined
searching for signs
of souls that yearn
to discern
lust from love
a dove
settles upon a gazebo
a stone's throw
from where we stand
as a man
in a tuxedo admires your lovely outlines
but tonight
you are mine
and it shall not be long
for the band is ending
their beautiful rendering
of a Spanish Love Song
Imagine,if you will
a world with no pain
with you and I having the right
to spend night upon night
discovering special places
a world with no traces
of bitterness
a world where only tenderness
shall suffice
a slice
of Paradise
with no illusions
nor intrusions
nor wrongs
a world of a lovely glade
in the late afternoon shade
where our love is made
while listening to
