Paradise
The everyday ordinary beauty of this exquisite island paradise
Amplifies the hellish anguish of your absence;
The sea rushes in and out
Lullaby’s the inhabitants
Into nocturnal wonder;
Caresses the sharp boarders of
Unexpected dreams;
Softening their jagged exteriors with delicate
Whispers which leaves memories of
Sensual wet kisses on my cheeks;
My body howls, trembles in
Uncontrollable sorrow/sadness;
A cruel game played by God;
My eyes look out on the blue sea;
I feel the rock-a-bye rhythm of the water’s lull;
I taste the gentle sweetness of the morning mist;
I hear the lovely choir of cocks
Crowing at each breaking dawn;
I am deliriously ungrateful;
I long to taste the soft salty musk of you sweat.
