A tropical breeze under palm trees, Chardonnay and caldo de camarones
Eighty degrees, shorts to my knees, Calypso de canciones
Walking a sandbar with a maduro cigar in the moon light
Bare feet in the sand holding your hand, a lighthouse beams ahead bright
Waves lap the shore calling for more, star's kisses in the sky
A siren's call on an island small, a place for which to die

Your picture is perfect, romantic and I felt as though I was there with all the sounds smells and atmosphere, I've been to some gorgeous places iny life bit this is paradise. 🌹 I suspect the face holding your hand had a smile from ear to ear. 🌹
Thank you my friend for the read and kind words. Yes the smile of the Cheshire cat did turn into the moon as it stretched from ear to ear. (just kidding my friend)

A very powerful image of a perfect evening that has a twist at the end.A perfect place to die.Very moving piece I could picture this place.For some it is Life
Thank you my friend I have been fortunate enough to have the best of beach and mountain in two different worlds and that is enough
A lovely poem. Your poem describes a tropical landscape, featuring elements such as palm trees, a warm breeze, and a serene beach at night. It conveys feelings of love, contentment, and a desire for permanence in a fleeting moment of happiness.🌹
Thank you so much my friend for the read and comment it is true happiness and contentment can be as fleeting as a meal or last the whole of a night your words are appreciated
You're so welcome, my friend
Can you tell me the name of this delightful place ? So I can go there and die with a last cocktail and a siren's call !
There is no secret Farol de Santa Marta where a rocky beach with lighthouse slopes down to a wide white sandy beach the runs both sides for miles. On one side a fishing village and public beach where surfers go and the other runs for miles in the other direction without a soul.
Laguna .Santa catarina state (Un lugar poco conocido en la costa Atlàntica del sur )
So true and better that way
Good write SB.
Thank you Orchi your words are always most valued
Dream place. Nicely described.

Okay we've had two hot days here and nows theres fire warnings on the hills.
We are a basket case.
Hopefully death is a long way off.

Dare we prick our ears one more time to catch the siren's call! Excellent poem, Soren🕊️🙏

A pleasure
Soren, this one pulled me in instantly…there’s a warmth to it that feels almost intoxicating. It’s not just a scene, it’s a full immersion…slow, rich, and a little dangerous beneath the beauty. I could feel every step of it. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks so much Tristan for the review and comment it is highly valued
Sounds absolutely perfect to me .. it's certainly one o them wish you were here places .. In fact I reckon I was recently there minus the cigar that even today
I wish I dare risk just a single one .. excellent in my book mate 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
