Desert island solitude
A blessing to me
Escape from the city life
And the pressures that can be.
*
Deep blue skies above me
‘Neath me powdered sand
Instead of fumes from factories
And concrete covered land.
*
Scuba diving on the reefs
Waters clear and blue
Cocktails in the evening
Walking without shoes.
*
My younger self dreamed of this
He called it paradise
Now It is but my daily life
In any other guise.
*
What I never dreamed of
I never thought it true
This life could be bettered
But then I met you.
*
Your hair blowing in the wind
The dimples in your cheeks
The mischief reflected in your eyes
When you turn your gaze on me.
*
Laying here hand in hand
Peaceful as can be
No need to speak for comfort’s sake
Just staring out to sea.
*
My desert island solitude
No more my singular place
Since you blessed me with your presence
My salvation by your grace.
