Dark Purple Wine Candlelight, starlight and dark purple wine Spun in a memory with silvery twine Blue of the midnight swirls round in the breeze Ripples of moonglow dance over the seas Only an instant that passed in the wind A table for two on a balcony’s rim Eyes made of jewels that reflected the glow And Montego Bay looking up from below Lost are the senses in lanterns and wine And intimate talk with your hands pressing mine A long smiling squint and a look from afar In a puff laced with fragrance of Cuban cigar The moments pass by and the music is gone And blue midnight visions awake with the dawn I’ve wrapped them in heartbeats with silvery twine These long ago memories that only are mine Elizabeth Santos |

The stain of this memory is heavily symbolic in that which was the best, will remain with you throughout.... Excellence again from the pen of Lady Santos... |

What a gift to be able to paint pictures with words from your mind so vividly I could almost hear the lapping of the waves. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |
