Hi Jack:

Hijack my mind, and we will set our sail Where clear blue waters start a fairy tale Our desires and dreams will set us afloat To a private island; sun kissed, remote We’ll lay our beach towels upon tepid sand You will soon know how amorous I am Our bodies entwined, our lips enraptured By sunset, My Love, our breaths be recaptured Then arm in arm we’ll walk the sea’s calm wave And before we return to our private enclave I’ll encircle your face with hands that are wet And give you a kiss that you’ll never forget We’ll search up two seashells we can take home A reminder when we need our thoughts to roam Back to the beach when it was just you and me And you hijacked my mind in a fantasy 02/08/18

Yes, a romantic romp of utter lighthearted joy. You are on a roll (I'm reading your poems backasswards) and I see this won which it darn well should have. I blinked and missed this contest, that's okay because I didn't miss this warm and enchanting entry. Hugs ... CayCay

Thank you, Love, for your support, friendship, and kindness. You are a true sweetheart. I generally suck at writing romance, but this one was easy...go figure!

Now who wouldn't like this one. What a dream like feeling you have expressed. Here's hoping this and every dream like it comes true. Sigh.

Hi Tom. Sorry I've been somewhat non existent here as of late. I will return shortly and grace your portfolio with my presence. I miss your poetry as you are a very talented writer. I also want to highlight your Influenza poem on my account as well. Speaking of which, my daughter stayed home from school today...you guessed it...the flu. Ugh!

Garsh, Anne-Lise. I am so grateful and humbled that my dear friends on Poetry Soup, yourself included, have stuck with me. I've been somewhat missing in action, as I'm working on writing my suspense/thriller. I promise to become more active here shortly. Please accept my apologies for not getting around to reading your talented writes.
