LOVERS’ HONEYMOON

Inspired by the painting “Twilight by the Sea” by Oscar Arauz

It was twilight down by the sea.
A warm ocean breeze came our way.
Sitting at the table the waiter obligingly had moved
to this remote spot for the end of our day.

Sipping our favorite champagne delight,
gazing into each others’ love-starred eyes.
Hearing the waves washing the shore.
So perfect for sharing our romantic prize.

Watching the sunset first bright then orange mellow,
glistening lights on the wavetips like jewels.
Perfection remembered eternally ours,
highlighted by heartbeating vow renewals.

Seeing the sailboat cross through fields of vision
recalling past pledges and dreams to elope.
Once in the darkness, kisses to treasure,
whispers of passion and wistful new hope.
