Sugar Shack

My love, please take me back
To your sweet sugar shack 
Sitting on the soft sand beach
Paradise is within reach

Rolling waves crest, so dreamy
Briny air, wafting steamy
Coconuts so full and ripe
Swaying grass skirt, my delight

Taut humid air, tan skin
Dewy lips meet, it begins
Swim southward along the coast
To the sweet realm of my host

Searching in the dark bamboo
For the mythic pink Honu
The enchantress of the sea
My soft kisses set her free

Forest of the straight smile
The fair treasures of this isle
Warm to my tropical steam
Her smiling shell does gleam

Inside her magic seas, you
Swim deeper as I please you
Within your endless ocean
Drowning, fragrant emotion

As the gentle cries go higher
Holy water turns to fire
Passion’s fruit upon your brow 
My Pele, it’s our Luau

Your Tsunami drowns the flame
My rogue wave crashes the same
The relentless sea rolls back
Joy resounding in the shack

Honu=Green Sea Turtle
Pele=Hawaiian Goddess of Fire/Lava

Hey, EJ, welcome to Soup. I liked the Hawaiian references. I also enjoyed the unique word pairing of "fragrant emotion." Good use of synesthesia! Romantic piece. It may take a bit of time to get used to the how to move around. Keep clicking! The two most popular areas here are new poems and the blogs. Cheers, Cyndi

Nice and sweet, Endorhin, Once again, a fresh new Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
