The Girl With Blue Aruba Eyes

~

She stood amidst the tropic breeze
the girl with blue Aruba eyes
Between the fruiting mango trees
neath pastel sunset shimmered skies

Meandering this summer’s eve
we stroll the shoreline hand in hand
Where lemongrass and grottos weave
and footprints wander in the sand

Alone this twilight paradise
as moonbeams glow on suntanned skin
Melodic turquoise waves entice
a seaside romance to begin

When here on dampened shore we kiss
my heart it beats in whispered sighs
Her beauty is my island bliss
the girl with blue Aruba eyes

~

Since it is winter, I thought I’d take a poetic trip to the tropics
Care to join me

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/12/2020 11:59:00 AM Yes, Chris, a taste of the tropics is needed now, especially in colder climates. Your description of the girl's "Aruba" eyes is brilliant. I'm thinking they're the same color as the ocean in the Caribbean. Always a delight to read your work.

Sandra Adams Date: 1/10/2020 8:43:00 PM wow...lucky girl she is...but hey we can still join you on the adventure through your words...i'd pack my bags but it seems not much is needed for the tropics... what a gorgeous poem to end the evening and kick start the weekend.. it's going to be in the 60's here so it will feel tropical here at least, add your words and it will be just as steamy... Love this Chris... sigh.... hugs Login to Reply Chris Green Date: 1/13/2020 8:50:00 AM You're right, not much is needed at all as long as you have someone you care about joining you on the trip. I am happy you decided to tag a long my friend. Can I get you a Pina Colalda or something? :) Thank you so very much Sandy.

Susan Woodrow Date: 1/10/2020 5:46:00 PM Sure! Let's getaway from the cold...lovely title...blue Aruba sounds so cool. Well, if she doesn't make it you can always join the gal with brown Banaban eyes in a different part of the tropics...she loves mangoes too! Goodnight and warm dreams :)) Login to Reply Susan Woodrow Date: 1/13/2020 12:07:00 PM haha no changing...just a plan B in case plan A doesn't pan out...or after plan A is complete! Have a great week :) Chris Green Date: 1/13/2020 8:48:00 AM Brown Banaban eyes sure are tempting...I might just have to change my plans. :) Thanks so very much Susan.
