She walked in the ivory sands
ofWaikiki
as he watched her from afar
her platinum hair
brushed by the wind
in the plumeria breeze
of her beauty
she strolled the path
toward the spell of his direction

the brush of the sun painted her curves
with a generous caramel tan
from angelic face to tip of her toes
she was the woman
the goddess of his dreams

she smiled within the thought
of his embrace
as their eyes locked
with the key of desire
as her presence
left him breathless with passion

this Dominican man with emerald eyes
his bronze body did hypnotize
he took her hand and melted
within reflections, sapphire blue

she fell in love with this man
this man who belonged to another
she kissed his lips for the last time
and they tearfully said their good byes
she held close their newborn baby
their daughter with emerald eyes.


A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

Aw, sad poem, yes Victoria, but when you dig deeper into the words of it you realize that although it has a sad ending there were smiles even then. For from the first kiss to the birth of their daughter, to the last kiss, their time together was magical, and you can never take that away from either of them.

Yes it was eighteen years ago my daughter had a daugher with emerald eyes. A gorgeous grandaugher she is. She has seen her father a couple times since then and of course they do the text thing. Thanks for reading Jerry

So sad but with a great ending that was, in fact, an even greater beginning.  You have given expression to a true story superbly!
