Ice cold pina colada:
Melted coconut
Jelly in pine apple juice
Dark brown, rich sugar
Cinnamon, a slut
Now set loose
Moans!...

An old fashioned lemonade
Peach Melba cooler
A glass of  Spanish sangria
Pina colada
Pimms with fruit skewers
Or planter's 
Punch !...

With pineapple juice
mix in some coconut milk.
It’s as smooth as silk.
Put some white rum to good use.
Have a pina colada.

Pina colada? 
Pinky said sure.
Pinafore dressed
She looked truly pure.

Pin curls and pinballs.
Pinky provided proof
Pigtails non-withstanding
She was an odd little poof....

I want the wind
to sweep me away
to a sanctuary in the sun

A place where I can
swim with the dolphins
and loosen up on a hammock
endlessly savouring Pina Coladas
in a garden of
balmy coconut palms
where the ocean breeze
and saltwater
are parading through
my hair strands...

The mirror showed
a Chinese lady pedalling a bike
in a pink kimono

The mirror showed
trees bowing
to a tropical (pina colada) lake

The mirror showed
a pink bedspread
losing her magnolias

The mirror showed
me grabbing your arm
and twisting it backwards

the moment when we pretended
to be real ballerinas
shows in the mirror...

Lost in an orchid. You and I.
Drunken songbirds, we’ve sipped the waves
And drank of day, of dank, of dusk
Together. You and I.

Yesterday a mystery slapped me 
So hard I became a question mark.

Now
I stare in the face of memory, a prisoner,
Body, soul, and reason in the orchard
At La Pina beneath the sweltering pine.

Platero......

I remember how you tasted today:
Sweat, salt, and bitter fruit,
And I wondered what I meant to you
During those soggy weary nights

I remembered how you smiled today:
Beguiling, deceptive, and intoxicating,
And I think about how we started
From a drunken you and me

I want to one day be free of my memories of you
None of this is good for me
I don't wish I never met you
I just wish I could be a different me...

Turquoise clear water sweeps to my feet
Exotic fruit adventure leads excitement to eat
Hot coconut breeze and soft golden sand
Chanting magic with a Pina Colada to hand
Whispering slush as sea pulls in for nights rest
Songs of wildlife welcoming foreign guest
Tribal surroundings of palm trees and flames
Told stories of stars and mythical names
Becoming the culture dreaming away
Body will leave but soul will stay...

I was solvent.
Inside the exterior.
The boy hanging from the ledge.
Cookies burning in the oven.
I was on that distant planet
With one flashing bar
Of battery left.

And in even then,
Absorbed with love.
A flailing brook
Of grammerless
Languageless
Broadside sea spray.
That one quarter left of pina colada.
A dalliance of dozens and dozens
Of dear loved ones.

As I clung there
Like a distant star 
In commune
With a multiverse of stars.

On September 17, 1993
I was introduced into this world
as a reward given to my mother at twenty three
and my father at twenty eight
by our Heavenly Father
dwelling in the sky
I was born with a heart filled with ocean tides
and a body wrapped in seaweed
with seashells in my hair

But then I grew up
and became a very spontaneous beach bum
who cares about nothing else in life
but Jesus Christ
beaches, oceans,
palm trees, dolphins,
pina coladas and time travel...
