The Morning Light


A silent sun-set begins its journey into the night.
Peeking little bolts of orange, and golden rays of light…

Sheltering peering eyes focused with enchantment
as papaya trees sway, beneath Mauna Loa’s rouge light…


The sea sings its rhythmic melody, against white sands and rocky shore
While dolphins play as spirited children, near the ocean’s floor…

Our thoughts touch and glimmer, at the lighting of a flickering torch
Our shared feelings are warmed and chilled, across a grassy porch…


In the palms of my hand I rest your delicate features,
While pressing our lips together, to become that evening’s creature…

The scent of ginger and exotic tropical is whispering at the night air
As a cool breeze swims in off the ocean, echoing through your hair…    


Gently we press into the night, into dreams of cotton candy,
Where dreams are real and life is not, where reality is a flute of brandy

Until the day is new and waking is too, and a melody is true,
cooing a breath of the morning light, me and you
In the morning light…

You could knock me over with a feather right about now! I could scarcely breathe with the overwhelming beauty and sensuousness of this gracious and touching piece of writing!

This was beyond lovely!

Such subtle play of the words, caressing the feeling of the ocean breeze.
Wonderful write. TD
