Thanks to Maria and Ron Williams for their incredible talent in producing this splendid visual art.

I lounge lazily on my deck chair 
Up high in the spacious loggia 
Loafing the time away, patient, waiting..... 
The ocean ebbs into the small bay 
As the sun sets far away over the horizon. 

From below electric lights flash on 
One by one and guitars are strummed. 
The enticing aroma of paella wafts up 
But I sit on, unmoved, immobile, waiting. 

In the summer heat, I wait, 
For the night to bring her near, 
With a dance so sweet, she'll appear, 
The summer heat is scarcely relieved 
By the faint ocean breeze 
The murmur of people reaches me. 
She has arrived and the guitars sing. 
So does my heart as I behold my wife. 
Slowly she pirouettes on her dainty toes, 
Her skirt resembling a veronica, 
Like a cape that baits the bull 
In a Spanish bloody arena. 
But I sit on, unmoved, immobile, waiting. 

I cannot see her red, red lips 
That taste like lavender in height of summer, 
I can just barely make out her silhouette, 
Her sexual curves, her lithe footing, 
Her inviting mien, her head held high, 
a proud senora dancing just for love. 

In the summer heat, I wait, 
For the night to bring her near, 
With a dance so sweet, she'll appear, 
Soon the dance will end and I... 
Why I just wait till she'll come to me, 
In the dark cover of the night. 
With a tequila and a night of love.

FAVE ILMO my wife who's from Aguilar just south Cordoba, but the planes land in Seville out of Madrid, and its nice and quaint there altho a bit landlocked but you can still see the ocean. Tequila a bit too Eastwood out there, we had Anis and Brandy. The setting, ensemble, and the guitarist you wait and see cause they go in the crowd/eatery/tav--if near me I bug out--I think they strum, and drum as they play both side of the guitar, pa-rump-pa-pum-pum--no nunnery--now more Clint style.

"The summer heat is scarcely relieved By the faint ocean breeze The murmur of people reaches me. She has arrived and the guitars sing. So does my heart as I behold my wife." Sensitive, beautiful writing, Victor. Love will reunite. Love it! A FAV!

This poem has intrigue and mystery. You seem patient and relaxed with that yummy tequila in your hand. I get the feeling of warm breezes while reading this poem.

Wow, how delightful! How wonderful a composition for your lyrics! The enticing aroma of paella wafts up (how beautifully the paella wafts from the singers lips)… In the summer heat, I wait, For the night to bring her near… I cannot see her red, red lips That taste like lavender in height of summer…Fave!

Bravo, Victor! That sensual sound of the Spanish guitar bringing life to your lyrics and that Flamenco dance enhancing the romantic evening ... or the night of romance in Andalusia ... I remember when I was in Valencia, Espana ... Your poem turned into a song made it more passionate ... Blessings, Marilene

Dear Victor, your evocative, emotive lyric is full of rich, vivid verses that capture a vibrant scene of wanting, longing, summer heat, a dancing senorita and guitars singing! A fiesta of beautiful poetry. The visual/musical accompaniment is a perfect rendering of your poem. A stunning poetic production. Congrats to you, Maria and Ron. Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan
