Waiting For Me

It's the cooler part of the day,
the part when lovebirds sing and play.
The sun has already given up its tan,
to the sun worshipers througout the land.
The trades are blowing about five to ten
and the palm trees are softly swaying
their graceful fronds in the kiss of the wind.
From Dole Cannery I see the Aloha Tower,
pierside is the ship "Pride of Aloha."
I watch the cars frantically driving
up and down the Nimitz Highway,
some headed towards Waikiki and
some headed out the Mauka way.
The City lights are starting
to light up the nighttime sky,
the Pride of Aloha sporting a white
string of lights from bow to mast
to stack to stern, massive high rises
now illuminated from Chinatown, to
Downtown, and all the way to Waikiki.
I reach in my pocket to grab my car key.
My sweethearts at home waiting for me.

Why James?

This is a picture perfect postcard!

I saw everything you felt. And that's poetry, m'friend.
