People wobbling in the heat haze like a real time hall of mirrors Street performers sing & flamenco & mime The snap of digital cameras & excited chatter outside the cathedral Sangria cold & fruity as it slides down easily The tram glides past the beggars & hawkers Gypsies’ curses in coarse andalucian as rosemary favours are repelled Excited Asians watching every move Large Americans loudly exclaiming their delight as the light fades into dusk Now the Feria comes alive all lights & ferris wheels & music so much music Men on horseback women ride sidesaddle all in traditional dress A throwback to a time before bailouts & austerity Sing & Dance & Eat & laugh & joke As dusk becomes evening the ottoman turrets light up The cooler night air seems to remove inhibitions as people from different worlds celebrate humanity with cheers & smiles Muchos Gracias & Bueno & Buena Noches in various accents fill the night as the spell is broken

Sangria In Sevilla
When will you & I be together When will we feel hot breath once more When will we feel the hot ****** touches again When will we dance our torrid tango as one When that time comes will the void be filled Or will it be as it was all those years ago When you left me bereft & heartbroken The record needle stuck at the end of the dance tune Stuck in the groove for eternity The memories linger as we limp on Backs bowed carrying the weight of what we had Wishing for the lightness of what we lost Gone Gone Gone- but always there Broken hearts beating still keeping a turgid rhythm Remembering the beat of the tune we once sang together Lost now forever- gone on the ether lost in the memories Of how we blew our only chance at total love & happiness

Dance
Curled hair Curled lips Curled fingers & thumbs Curled together Curling as a sport was never as warm

Curly Whirly
Alabaster white skin pinkening Jade eyes moistening as my ministrations continue Electricity crackling between us The last two on this earth Two who are and always will be One Ruby red cupid’s bow parts No sound escapes Just a breath taken For we do not need words We feel We touch We play We tease Each other Until the dawn breaks Sunrise dappling across our bodies Erotically tattooing us

Bliss
Crashing whitecaps peaking A sound tsunami Shingles glistening Groynes mossy Seaweed pungent in the salt filled air The rhythms old as time Remind us of our insignificant mortality A marine metronome soundtracking our existence

Promenade
Every Second seems like a day Every hour like a week As I pine for the jade sparkle in your eyes Time moves like a treacled tortoise As I wait & wait & wait For the moment we touch we kiss we hold Our breath & then Exhale

Tick Tock
Crimson Droplets splashing on the Carrara marble floor Contrasting with alabaster skin- slick with sweat A moan escapes shattering the silence The echo bouncing off the tiled walls Slipping, sliding under the water So weak so tired The music fades Submerged at last Peace

Goodbye Juliet- Hello Romeo
Dazzling Jade Eyes sparkling A smile parting that Cupid’s Bow An incandescent hello Flame Red Curls wrapped around my hand As my lips part yours Electric current passes through our bodies A crackling connection between us Body & Soul entwined in an embrace that means so much After years of wilderness & wallflowering we finally bloom & blossom Whole at last we breathe as one
