Asking the Coral Moon To Paint the Tropical Night Blue

This lonely, calm island, not bigger than Portland is our escape from reality... in it there's much possiblity. Even the happy lovers on Venice's lagoon will envy our secretive, peaceful place; wouldn't they pay the largest fortune for a night under the moon's alluring face? You, sweet joy, lay on my chest... let the bright clouds carry your serene dreams far away; while you tremble under my caress... how sublime is to see those green palm trees sway! I, lover and friend, will obey any command: whisper it, or write it in the shimmering, silver sand; I will look away as if I had no curiosity or clue... asking the coral moon to paint the tropical night blue. Entered in Gail Doyle's contest, " A Tropical Theme Under The Moonlight " written by Andrew Crisci
