Island of Fantasy

Island Of Fantasy


                                They lost the compass and 
                      Drifted towards a glittery islet at dusk
                        Twinkling with thousands of lamps

                            The glow worms enchanted 
                          The young lovers to rest while
                     These buzzing stars sang them lullabies

                            Morning unfolded seascapes
                      Of clear shallow aquamarine ripples
              Where they could look down at corals and shells

                            The parakeets and love birds 
                         Illuminated  the trees-capes with
                   Bright coloured hues and mellifluous tunes

                              The uninhabited isle was 
                  Drooling with sweet smelling juicy fruits
            Bees, butterflies, birds, gave them an open invite to stay
