Shy
Until the very first time
when
she let him see her
naked
She would hide her
perfect form in shadows
deep ..
Yes indeed, until that
first time
She always tended to
recline
somewhere much more
covertly
between the sunscreen
and the
privacy her parasol
demanded ..
Halfway between those
high hills
some called mountains
and the shallow
lace edged coves of Crete
But as her
holiday progressed
She just could not bear
to save those
hidden depths of hers
another week ..
And so it was decided
after one half pint
of local raki, on day nine
or thereabouts ..
She finally relented and
let him feel
her naked for the first
time with
curtains drawn and all
the lights off ..
Still out of sight somewhere
beneath those
freshly laundered hotel sheets
