Tropical Destinations

 

Excursions, please stay awhile, no hurries.

Diversions, sights that delight, few worries.

Steamy night, soft southern breeze, love prevails.

Dreamy daze, as your eyes tease, our ship sails.

 

Navigate, full steam ahead, we explore.

Fascinate, white orchid scent, hearts implore.

Surging tides, romantic beach, perfect port.

Merging lips, my love in reach, cool resort.

 

 

Inhale, Exhale

 

We wandered slow, where breezes played,

through meadow paths and coastal glade.

 

Your hand in mine, no need for pace,

just breath and time in nature’s grace.

 

A heron stilled near reeds and tree,

you’d point and grin, share glee with me.

 

The sky would blush in soft ballet,

as shorebirds swooped along the bay.

 

Each winding path, each island shore,

recalls the love we still adore.

 

A life composed in soft detail,

not rushed, just us: inhale, exhale.

 

 

After Dark Chocolate Kiss

 

Moonlight glimmers on your satin skin,

a spark ignites where lips begin.

The taste of chocolate, rich and deep,

awakens love that we long to keep.

 

Fingertips trace our love’s design,

as hearts unite in perfect rhyme.

With whispers soft and touch so sweet,

like melted warmth in candle’s heat.

 

Our shadows waltz on walls so near,

a love unmoved by doubts and fear.

With every kiss, my heart insists,

forever starts in nights like this.

 

Embrace me now, don’t let us part,

through endless time, within one heart.

For love like ours, so pure, so true,

remains heaven’s gift, to me and you.
