This is Paradise!

[Scube]

Did you hear how swift
The news from Pali runs?
They say the East has donned her pearl gown
And waits in regal splendor for her lover, Don, the sun.

And did you hear the whispered
News Makini speaks?
How at his royal kiss a
Coral blush passed o’er her cheeks.

But Mauna Kea could not know
The news is desert to my eyes:
To tast your lips and see your face in the soft morning light--
Ah, this is paradise!

[V.Jayalakshmi]

Did I hear that stream running soft?

It rained yesterday so the stream ran in riots.

Perchance I might walk today,

In the shores of yesterday,

Hearing the soft stream whisper me,

Go get lost in todays turmoils,

For the stream will always run whatever.

Coral blush passed o’er her cheeks.

But Mauna Kea could not know
The news is desert to my eyes:
To taste your lips and see your face in the soft morning light--
Ah, this is paradise!

God, how I love the lightness of your touch, the sense that your lines are not so much crafted as discovered, spontaneously!

Note the small type I presumed to correct

Well, Scube, you have taken me back to my Hawai'i. Lovely.

[firefangled]

The pace of this and the sound is marvelous.

This poem has a lovely easy flow to it Scube, and a light spontaneous touch as Prince Myshkin said. It has a lovely warm feel about it, very enjoyable.

[Pendragon]

Transporter room ready: Scube will be taking us back to Hawaii for those who have been there, and those whom have not yet had the experience will feel it as if they had!

Pen.

Thanks to all for reading and for your kind comments on my poem! I wrote this to my wife while in Hawaii on Valentine's Day.

Happy New Year!
