The Island and the Sea

I am an island You are the endless sea From behind the dusky moon side You gently come to me. You come to me so slowly You move upon my shores Exploring my pearl'd silk dunes You make me wholly yours. I give you all I am the billow and the breeze the high-steep hills the sun-kissed meadows rocky paths and tropic leaves. You give me all you are On your froth I tread my dreams With light ripples you seduce me and harp music of sirens. With the low sound of your lapping waves you lull me into sleep Tenderly,brushing off solitude as nocturnal wafts cover my feet. I am an island You are the endless sea Ever young,ever strong willing and determined your tides protecting me. With million shades of crystal blue fresh waters flow to me to quench my earthly passion and fiery flames set free. I am an island You are the endless sea As long as I'm an island You 'll always be with me.

Wonderful comparison, it reminds me of that very beautiful compact Chris wrote... You the island, he the sea, I am melting away here and I love it very much.

Good Evening Charmaine. Please allow me to simply say everything is right everything in its entirety. This is beautifully expressed and executed. Well done completely which was an honor to read. Never doubt your writing ability for one second Charmaine.

I can just see the quiet rippling waves gently kissing the soft sandy shore as a bright sun glows in the beautiful blue skies. Thais was enchanting my sweet friend. No place better than tropical island for romance.
