First Kiss Working side by side In utter frustration I screamed "What do you want?!!" The next moment I was enveloped In his very being His lips vibrating with an echo Inviting me to a future That mirrored my dreams·   It held promises Of the sounds of Africa. Adventures of the howler monkey's cries In Panama. The coral reefs unexplored in Bermuda. The Thor Hyerdall pyramid in the Canary Islands. The museums of Madrid. The Abaco Parrots in the Bahamas. The Florida Keys filled with snorkeling and umbrella drinks.   Years later, on the beach with our mango margaritas Celebrating our anniversary barefoot He showers me with sapphires I thank God for dreams that come true And that for once I let my soul listen.
