Toreador

She sings alone her repertoire

Dancing in her front room

Pretending to play a Spanish guitar

Imagining her Flamenco costume

A rose held lightly between her lips

Dress flowing and swishing the floor

Feeling the touch of his hands on her hips

Her imaginary toreador

 

Ten years on she’s lost those dreams

One child and one on its way

To tired to chase these old moonbeams

A life in disarray

But sometimes she hears the Spanish guitar play

Childish daydreams rise to the fore

For a moment in time she is swept far away

In the arms of her toreador
