I live with my lover
in luscious conditions
and a mongoose called Many
for good reasons
A palm tree
shades the couch
on our porch
Our delight is the rhyme
of the sea
As for me
I come from a country of four distinct seasons
each bringing new flavour to life
As for him
he has not yet seen
nor felt snow beneath his feet
or the retreat of summer into fall
nor blossomings
that happen once a year
that remind to be grateful that near
is the essence of change
We will live both lives
We will arrange this to be true

This is some top-notch poetry, Dean!!!
I am literally swallowed by your words and I can't help but feel engulfed in this world that you painted.
This is my new gay love song on repeat!!!
"We will live both lives
We will arrange this to be true"
AHHHH, my Lord, your words are literally so graceful.
I love this contrast between yourself and your lover. Whilst you seem to be seasoned in all things climatic and tropical, your lover has "not yet seen / nor felt snow beneath his feet / or the retreat of summer into fall."
It's like you are depicting yourself as a medium through which your lover can gain new knowledge and insight.
Thank you for this poem dear poet.
Thank you Rocky as always for the comments, I think as poets we become a medium when we allow the poem to write itself, you are very good at that, take care, poet on,keep singing
