Paradise Not Lost

Surrounded by tropical treasures large plumed birds called in strange and beautiful ways only to be answered from another a long way away, flowers with bright petals provided a blanket of color with a dazzling array. Cascading water forms a foaming white tower falling, falling down a long wet slide broke the calm of an otherwise peaceful day. Breathtaking in speed and power the race of the falling water deafening to the ears causes the heart to race with its power. Green footprints form where the falls left their trail a lasting story of a never ending tale. Two hearts intertwined in a paradise far away from the noise of another land Lost in love like no other love two souls joined as one on a tropical sand. With passions meeting as two deeply in love a kiss - a touch - an embrace to last away from the life so far past lost in love, like no other love could be. Pulled to the sound of the never ending fall high above the turbulent pool beneath the two lovers watched the waters falling their hearts racing with the rush of the water. Arm in arm they stepped into the rush and down with the flow they went falling with unbelievable speed and power to meet the pool far beneath. Deep into the pond they fell searching for each others arms at last touching their fingers pulling each into the others arms. Lips touching the others deep and lasting the effect as they reached for the light that shown above them before they lost their breathe. Gasping with one last effort to reach that final breathe a sound was heard in the distance.. ..."Good morning America, its 6:00 a.m. in the morning, and here is the news of today...."

Poems on love always take me to a high, this one is so dreamy and beautiful but the last line woke me out of the dream. Lovely verse though, you are right up to snuff! :)
