Closer To La Isla Bonita

"I prayed that the days would last.
They went so fast."...La Isla Bonita...Madonna

Once when I was walking on Milos Rocks
I met a woman of golden locks.
She said, "Come and join me on my rock."
"Come and soak up some of Milos sun,
tonite we'll go dancing,
have lots of fun."
She had some cave aged wine
that she shared with me,
we drank until sunset
under a kissing tree.
Later that night as we
held each other tight,
we danced, laughed and sang
until reaching midnight.
Falling into bed she smothered me
with kisses, promising to show me
all of Milos seventy seven beaches.
That night we seemed closer
to Madonna's La Isla Bonita.

Thank you JL and Neereja for the nice responses...
Neereja, kissing trees are where you make them...In this case the Juniper trees of Milos Island, when you desire the shade as much as you desire a kiss...James
