Etched in the illusion of time

**(My hawaiian might be off, so please forgive moi. :P)

oceanic rhythms
rock me into an endless dream

this Polynesian world
alive in bleeding colors
of lavished green and balmy pleasure

my malama
speaking through me,
pule unto Papahanaumoku

keep safe
our grove of passion flow'r

lay me down in the burning sand

you make me malihini
no more

too familiar

high from scents of flowery skin
shades darker than
the palpable Hawaiian moon

thick and rich

lost in a song of obsidian hair
clutched in your finely callused hands

salty sweet lips whisper 'olelo
into my eager ears
trailing promises with tongue
down
a quivering neck

'ono
flawlessly melded flavors
of your touch
linger

we will sleep tonight
among nalu foam

I, 'olapa
you, ho'opa'a

watch me strung with leis
body curving in a sunset dance
there are no drums,
though I move

on makai turf
offering mahalo to our gods

tonight, I am goddess of the 'aina
on which I lay my head

as moonlight paints the shore
with darkness' alelo
someone beckons

and we follow the call
of a thousand ancient voices

to heaven

oh sleep, fair lovers,
here



**from http://www.aloha-hawaii.com/hawaii_magazine/hawaiian/index.shtml


For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"
