in the whispers of palm trees
my mind wanders aimlessly
like algae on the sea
beneath my rolled-up khakis
warm waves crash upon my feet
reminding me of…..sigh
a gentle caress
trembles my skin
underneath my white shirt
I turn to reach for her
my hands grasp an island breeze
paradise is lost
she is the treasure I never had
sand seeps from longing fists
I call her name
as her silent giggles echo
in the whispers of palm trees

As the Palm tree sways with the wind so does my soul with your flow of words. One day when you reach for her hand and it’s gone, may it only be because she left to place her hands over your eyes to whisper, come find me after you’ve counted to five. Welcome back. Hope you relaxed and rejuvenated.
