BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE
Bright coloured
dress;
like a princess, I wear
to a ball in the bay.
The moonlight flatters
every piece of the necklace
on my neck – lustre
that hangs on my chest.
South sea pearls
from the Island of Tahiti.
Thoughts on my head;
beyond the horizon
comes back – priceless
memories I cherish.
My love and I will meet
tonight in the inlet.
Treasuring the moment
of the divine passion will
happen – romancing
under the glimmers
in a tropical setting.
Drinking coconut
cocktails with a dash
of magic will delight
my sweetheart.
The splashes
of the sea brought
by the breeze – moving
the universal gift;
epitome of the
goddess of beauty.
My darling is here;
flowers he brings
reaching – my
hands as he kneels
down, asking, will
you marry me?
