A Night of Romance

A night for Romance Wes at on an upturned boat of the type of “the old man and the sea.” by Ernest Hemingway used, the night had all the ingredients needed for romance, full moon and glittering stars on blue velvet. She gave herself to me, how trite and old fashion this sentence sound nevertheless, it was so, sixty years ago. I gave her a cheap wristwatch bought in Genoa it was hopelessly slow. I think it was in some small seaport in Guatemala or some other the port on the coast of Latin America and the year was 1964. Then the night paled I could see my ship it was ready to set sail to some other destination. And so many years later her kisses still lingers on my lips.
