After the party, I woke up on a tropical island Poetry Contest .

Cutting the Deck

Star filled sky
Alive, energy, vibrating night
Enriching sound of the waves
Feeling the wind on a voyage to another world
Listening to the hottest DJs spinning
Top dynamics of music
I strolled up to deck for a little dancing
Hoping for a little love
Showing off dexterous, super-spreader swing moves
Picking a few Dark and Stormy at the bar
Happy with the harmony
Feeling the rhythm like prince charming 
Wanting to accommodate one 
Connect on the dance floor
Midst a group of attractive, 
Very desirable, crazy ladies
Like a beast killing the tempo moves 
Ladies dissipated 
Disappointed
          Ignored  
Out of breath with sweat streaming down my face
Nimble-fingered, clumsy   
          Knocked out 
Flew over the deck rail into the cold
Woke up on a tropical island
Perplexed, no memory decided to stay

Dear Eve, Okay, you swept me away like a midnight breeze. I could see that star-filled sky, that pulsating energy. And did I mention the waves’. It all felt to me like a voyage to another world. In other words I danced, hoping for love, but ended up knocked out, waking on a tropical island. (LOL) Your words linger with me. - Good Luck in the Contest. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
