the invitation

dismal visage fixated on the dark horizon
warm steady breeze caressing lengthy locks
coconut and sea salt overwhelming the senses
gentle waves lapping about small bare feet
lei fluttering from digits to dance in the air
tired sigh escaping otherwise silent mouth
vision narrowing in moment of disillusion
beckoning chill glides across nape in response
frigid kiss closing the weary gaze with a nod
pacing forward to the long awaited invitation..
