At the beach

Balmy summer breeze
bathes the parched tropic island
with salt and kisses

Sand dunes are afire
Scorches my tender muscles
with wild-fire loving

Blue hammock swinging,
enticing, hypnotizing,
beckons me to come

Long, sinewy legs
rest on black batik sarong
tanned, tired of moving

Smooth-shaven torso
muscled arms hold me tightly
locked in warm embrace

Our bodies take rest
and our minds surf mountain waves
laying on the sand

Your salty kisses,
cold beer and barbeque sauce—
My paradise lost
