Island of Fantasy

Island Of Fantasy Contest Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron I shared a margarita with you as we tip-toed through the sandy shores of Beautificia Island. No one in sight…just me…you...and the gentle current rising up toward our ankles. Fair mountains full of purple hues shedding a tiny shimmer of sparkling pink. Skies laced with light blue with yellow streaks floating across the small cabana made of bamboo. It was our cabana with only room for two. We shared so much in twenty years. The heartache and loss, but most importantly we shared refreshing joy and contentment. Pure pleasure of romance and enjoyment. us on our island hues of romance lingering cabana for two Walking out hand in hand we noticed pineapples lined up along the beach leading us into a tiny hut. It was different than our cabana. It held chairs matching a candlelit table with enough food for a kingdom. A deep red lantern hung above us as we delighted in our meal. There was no one around. It was as if this night was made just for us as a gift from the universe. With sweet whispers of secrets and hands held under the table we sat and raptured in each other’s eyes. warmth from the lanterns grateful gift from universe soft secrets whispered The night led us into the sights of a beautiful sun setting in the west. The sparkling pink hues from the midsummer's day mountains sprinkled above us. Like lightning of yellow we sat and pondered on our life we created out of love. It seemed like yesterday we were passing glances in the halls of high school. Stares lasting seconds feeling like hours. The first time you spoke, my heart melted and as time grew I knew you were the one. As the blue moon arose, I leaned on your shoulder and smiled. This island reminded us of the fantasy we created through two decades of love. pink sparkling sunset glances of love at first sight fantasies of life Date Written: June 6, 2016
