Bolero

The summer night rain falls
Walking by the ocean
I seek the peace that
Sleep refuses to bring to me.
The humid summer air
Releases its water.
As the warm waves
roll over my bare feet.
In the distance someone
Is playing Bolero on a flute
It is sensual and Haunting.
Its beat strums my heart.
Like your fingertips once did
I stop and breathe
the fresh moist salty air.
Pictures of you flood my mind
Only of you.
As does the music.
in The distance someone
is playing bolero on a flute.
It is beautiful
and the tears from my eyes
Join the rain in their release.
I dream of you holding me
Your fingers in my hair
To take out the creases
Like a mothers hand.
As though it could take away
The creases you left in my life
Someone in the distance
In this beautiful night rain
Is playing Bolero on a flute
And its breaking my heart
