Long Sevilla Poems

Flamenco In Sevilla

Sevilla, the evening pins flowers on your hair
A pirouette of tasselled gown rustles by
Igniting a lusty swirl along theater’s wing,
Over spotlights on red liquefied hips
That kiss of flamenco gyres into a dance ;
Relishing the wine which drips as you lift
And tap those feet through moonshine’s gloam:
O, such swaggers devour my senses
While Latin music sets the castanets ablaze--
Then a pause, a sensuous movement, jigging.

Sevilla, you are a luscious pageant of a song,
A brief canticle gliding on my bones, that I
Fondle you in the dark    caressing scented nape:
What endless thrill you bring on an August dusk!
Then together drunken madly ,   recklessly 
I will be  love's sunrise, and you my finale's art,
As  this heart etches a twirl in flamenco sighs,
Clinging to each refrain of such possessed trance.
