Where shall I go to embrace your heat?
...where the waves upon the sand beat,
and the palms in answer sway …
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~
Where shall I go to behold your light?
…where torrid rains mist to a rainbow flight,
and hibiscus gold, on the beach stray…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~
Where shall I go to taste your kiss?
…where the brook burbles with bubbly bliss,
and the rocks in aqua, splay…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~
Where shall I go for your quiet, laced?
…where the doves coo but hide their face,
and ancient greens, swish through the gray…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~
Where shall I go to inhale your scent?
…where gingers spice till their reds are spent
and 'Tiare' snow falls from cliffs in May…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~
Where shall I go for your heavenly grace?
…where beams bathe life in a special place
and spirits glide as the dolphins play…
O Sun, in Karina, I pray to stay ~
(12/5/19: '89 Bluewater Coastal Cruiser 55; Alamar and DMS)
In moonlight she flows, pure romance,
And appears as though lost in trance;
But heart beating wildly with rapture,
On a night of beauty none can capture!
Katarina, Katarina, have you seen her?
With eyes of blackness and all astir?
Night blooms, and she comes alive;
When bees are sleeping in little hives.
Graceful Katarina moves like a dream,
Cool and feverish as melting ice cream.
When gone the long day of the sun,
A pleasing fantasy is then begun!
Katarina, Katarina, lissome as a swan,
And the delicate limbs birds light upon.
But knowing pricks the heart with pain-
She shall never come again!
