The sun lowers behind the Vineyard maples
Split sun rays bathe the lawn
Soft under our bare feet
As we drink and reminisce about all our special times
The sound of nostalgic choruses bring a rush of energy to our souls
Our laughter is the soundtrack for these times
As hazy joy sweeps over us more with each sip of our cocktails
Dusk approaches as the glowing windows of our weekend beachside home
become brighter by the minute
Weathered boats rock back and forth in tangerine sunset water
As a warm breeze dances around you
Caressing the tie dye dress draped over your mocha skin
Your hair rough and worn from the ocean water
Covering your angelic features as you brush it away
I read about true beauty in classic novels
But was yet to see it with my own eyes
Until I set them upon you
My hand is warm and safe in yours
Let me show you how I feel
As the moon illuminates the yard
and we dance into the night
