Hot In Havana

Hot In Havana. . It was a sweltering hot sticky Havana summers Velvet star-studded night I was sat enjoying the scene In a dance bar As someone played the piano accordion And guitar . Suddenly I was aware of a shapely silhouette Stood at the door and I was transfixed by what I’d seen And slowly she sauntered in swaying her hips As sultry as a feline in her tight figure-hugging backless dress Figure of a dream the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen With a red rose tucked in to her glossy raven hair With eyes that smoldered and could light up the night And smooth tanned skin and pouting sensual ruby lips Long legs in fishnet tights . Out to thrill and out to kill All eyes were on the unknown stranger As she stood poised at the bar The room filled the ceiling fans spun As men smoked their Cuban cigars . As the room got fuller the heat got hotter And couples took to the floor Suddenly out of nowhere The was stood in front of me I had seen stood at the door . Without a word she grabbed my hand And led me to the dance floor My heart was beating so fast And I was sweating from every pore Her scent was heavenly and heady As we swayed and spun around To the bands delightful sound Her eyes beckoned me as a siren To come even closer and hold her tight Her lips were full sumptuous and pouting The butterflies inside me were fluttering And I was melting with euphoric delight Like a moth to a deadly flame our lips Almost met then she pulled away She was just a tease and we could only play her way Even though I was on fire Both drenched in sweat She let me kiss her bare shoulders and long neck I could taste her perfume As we swayed across the room Other men tried to flirt with her But she only had eyes for me And I was drowning in ecstasy . We were both getting thirsty So I weaved through the dancing couples And headed for the bar Through the haze of smoke from the cigars When I came back cocktails in hand She had gone and left the red flower And a note saying Thank you love Edwardo She wasn’t a she But a man. .
