Drumbeats Upon The Shore (Island Beauty) On a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific I anchored my boat for the night. Gentle waves rolled into shore as I turned off my cabin light. While half asleep, or was I dreaming I heard drumbeats upon the shore. While wondering the reasons I heard a noise at my cabin door. Beneath a full moon, my eyes detected a shadow upon my deck. I cried out, and no one answered so I jumped up to have a check. As I opened the cabin door, a cool breeze blew in and upon the breeze a hard breathing island beauty fell within. She pleaded with me to help her escape, so I raised the anchor to set sail before it was too late. With no time to spare I started by engine running. The drumbeats growing more intense and from the jungle spears and arrows started coming. I would like to tell you that we escaped successfully. Indeed we did, and to this day my island beauty sails with me. JamesLee 27January 2007 |

Set sail into the sunlight and hope to fall in love with the one before your very eyes. Love it... you should have a continuation on this poem and tell us what happens next. Looking forward to it  |
