ROMANTIC MYSTIQUE WATERS

 

                  ROMANTIC MYSTIQUE WATERS                                                               

In love, strolled to candlelit dinner hand in hand,

silence, only slip slop saltwater laps golden sand,

reflections of red lunar moon shimmer dark to light,

trawlers anchored on horizon, aglow, oh so bright.

 

Nets vividly lit, attract mesmerized fish,

are we guilty savouring our succulent grilled dish,

mankind for centuries survived hunting the wild

devouring meat, fowl, fish, from age of a child.

 

Relaxed with wine, toast long life, good health,

marvel at vista, rainbow colours north, south,

mainland to island, by cable cars day thru night,

sway “to and fro” under Eiffel towers sparkling white.

 

Final cocktail, sleep, awake after dawn,

beautiful bay shrouded in mist, new day born,

one step at a time to water’s edge on sandy beach

swim with surviving fish, safe beyond man’s reach.
