Isla Mujeres Come with me to Isla Mujeres Where steady trade winds blow Oceans blue and crystalline We can finally let love show Unlock the passion inside I’m waiting just for you Meet me beyond the coral reef Ageless amour, old and new We'll sleep in the midday heat Under bright stars, dark sky Make love with abandon Diving into loving eyes Feel the weightless whirling Your spirit surrounding me now Like a jewel, multi-colored Enlightened within, show me how I want to lie in the hot sand Cover you with tender kisses Watch your morning passion grow Grant you three thousand wishes We'll ride horses on windy strands Take a sunset swim at low tide This love, given half a chance Surely cannot be denied And when we return to reality Tell me it will still be this way For if you tell me otherwise On the Isle of Women I shall stay Isla Mujeres Te amo Isla Mujeres © 1999 Corinne Bailey |

Corrine- The title took me in ... the beautiful refrains kept me here. This is surely a beautiful piece of work. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

It's somewhere below zero here and I was just about to get a cup of hot chocolate and put on my flannel P.J's. But now I find myself sitting here in shorts a tank top with a parrot on it, straw hat and flip flops, sipping a margarita. Now I 'm freezing my butt off. Why did you have to return to reality? |

Anne - Mu gracias, seniorita! Denise and Marge- thank you so much! Paul - LOL - you are so sweet! Glad to have taken you away on a mini-vacation, anyway! Keep thinking warm thoughts! I've been to this island, many moons ago. A very, very romantic spot! The kind of place where you'd gladly take up hammock making in order to stay! Corinne |

Corinne, I really loved this, you are the jewel, multi-colored. So is that what you fiery red heads do, make love with abandon.... I need to write some poems about red heads, but I need something to draw from, with abandon.  |

You're dangerous, Corinne. All I needed was my wife looking over my shoulder while I read that, and I'd be grounded from the forum! |

Hoot - it is a beautiful place, with an interesting history involving pirates and treasures and kept women! Haleyja - thank you for the lovely compliment! Hmmm, well, um, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you might be...possibly...flirting? Ted - yeah, I'm that! LOL James - thank you kindly! Corinne |

Poet FemmeFatale, Yes, I've been there, neat place because it wasn't as touristy as some of the other islands like Cancun. Have a great trip and thanks for the kind words! Corinne p.s. Be sure to take the sunscreen! |

Corine, excellence sence of adventure and passion with love, to bad my husband and I couldnt go to a place like this, it might just be the thing to save our marriage. My heart will go on, my tears I will cry, My laughter will fade, but for all this I do for the love of Sammy |

Anglesamsmom, Then go! Go now! Drop everything, cancel this and that and go! Make it the #1 priority! Drop the kids off at grandma's or your sister's or your best friend's house and GO! Call that travel agent! Thank you, also, for the lovely comments. Corinne |
