Night black hair and face so fair

A beauty few are blessed

Face draped curl, mid-eastern girl

But brought here from the west

Soft tanned skin and sultry grin

All woman it was clear

Wise old sage beyond her age

A third less mine in years

Cloudy night with soft pale light

Sand beneath our toes

Light blue sea, princess & me

Still dressed in formal clothes

Ruby lips & white light ships

Orange crescent moon

Cat blue eyes & soothing sighs

This beach our sitting room

The waves they rolled as I did hold

Her nestled in my arm

All troubles fade as there we stayed

We two so far from harm

Though we shared our comfort there

Both at the same did know

That if we could then stay we would

But time had come to go

On piggy-back I took her back

Warm smiles on our face

But all too soon we reached the rooms

Her royal resting place

Before the door a last detour

A high perch with a view

Spiral stairs, was someone there?

We left because who knew

Then in the pool, against the rules

We washed our sandy feet

And went outside to share goodbyes

Before she went to sleep

Our souls laid bare, a hug we shared

A kiss upon her hand

Our numbers read in pencil lead

She'd found in valet's stand

Then one last glance a peaceful trance

Then off to start my ride

She watched me go across the road

Before she went inside

From stairway land, she waves a hand

Then gently walks away

The tender care we knew we shared

Saved for another day
