My Island Persuasion

Palm trees in silhouette, deep purple sunset tickle the moon of an indigo sky Whispers of love seem to float on a pillow made by the clouds as they’re waving goodbye Birds of the night in their island persuasion hint of a tune that we knew long ago Sand dunes that temper the mist of the ocean cradle our evening as I love you so When you and I are alone with the stars time can stand still, may this night never end Something keeps calling, I don’t want to answer rather, I’ll stay and let sleep by my friend Yawning, I wake to the promise of coffee only a dream was my island with you Then as you lean in to kiss me good morning I know that all of my dreams have come true

Great double-take there in that last stanza, Mike! So 'well-done.' A 'rare' treat. ~ Wordplay Willie (Seriously, Mike: The poem is superb! ~ gw)
