Paradise Fantasy

Full moon haunts the evening sky,
Balmy weather perfect for you and I.
Palm trees sway gently in the breeze,
A night created for us to seize.

You take my hand, bring it to your lips,
And place on it the sweetest kiss.
Hand in hand we stroll along,
Listening to the seas night song.

We run from waves as the tide comes in,
Giggling and feeling like kids again.
You playfully try to get me wet,
I pretend to pout and be upset.

Then, pulled into your warm embrace,
My smitten heart begins to race.
You gently kiss me once, then twice,
Under a lover's moon in paradise.

For now there's only you and I,
Under a canopy of starlit sky;
White sand beach beneath our feet,
Held in thrall by love so sweet.

Too soon the night gives way to dawn.
I open sleepy eyes and you are gone.
I sigh, but then I start to smile.
Tonight we'll meet again on our paradise isle.
