The cold wind blows on the cheek
Ruffling the hair locks away
Gazing at the distant horizon
The sun glowing a scarlet flame.
Into the hollow of the infinite pale blue
Of Heaven it rose.
Its flickering tongues up-drew
And vanished in dark blue shadows
Passion sprung those sparks which flew
Together into fire.
Dancing like mating serpents
Burning desire deep within
But we knew
the winds would slap and quench it in their game.
Behind the arched palms on the beach
flowered the tall and sheltered flame.
Without,
The baffled winds thrust a kiss on your lips .
