thanks for the read.

The man with the Spanish guitar. feels a bit weak, is he Spanish or is the guitar Spanish? if the latter then why not, the Spanish guitarist
His blood aroused by a familiar embrace at this point you need an image,
Toque gitano o flamenco.
He’s traced her spine and held her curves
The nuance of his lover.
She springs to life in his embrace can something else be used instead of embrace, which is repetition
Delighted by his prowess.
The dancers stir like tangled buganvilia bougainvillea
In a fragrant summer breeze,
An exuberant bouquet
Of twirling skirts and smiling red lips
Which he bestows upon his lover.
Hands must clap
Heels must tap
Legs must dance
His passion grows only stronger.
The man with the Spanish guitar.
Lovely poem. I love a spanish guitar, grew up hearing my father play his, he was quite good. Seems Billy has covered the soft spots that may need tinkering. I faltered here:
An exuberant bouquet
Of twirling skirts and smiling red lips
Which he bestows upon his lover.
I'm not sure what "he"" has bestowed, twirling skirts, red lips? All in all , fine potential.

Hello Heartafire thank you for the comments. My basic idea here is that the guitar players love for his guitar and his playing of the guitar, is like the love that the dancers have for each other and they respond to that emotion by dancing and then their dance in turn becomes like a bouquet that the guitarist gives back to his guitar/lover. Each of the parts, guitar, musician, dance fueled by the other. I'm having difficulty trying to convey that idea through allegory. Billy is so right in the "telling" comment. I've tried to make the musician a lover, the guitar a woman and the dancers a bouquet but it still slips out of allegory and gets too "tellie" on me (patent pending on the term "tellie"). I'm not sure how to fix it.
