Margarita Sky

Maui nights--like nowhere else... 4-8-2021

Margarita Sky


Pink margarita sky spilling out the cusp of night
onto an ocean of sighs edged in white sand salt.
Pink umbrella toothpicked with coconut palm,
serenaded by silent words of sinuous dancers.

Whale spout exclamation points
out what a stellar day it was
as stars come out to dance
and young men play with fire.

Plumeria seduces the night air
as lovers toy with emotions fired
by more than dancers and shooting sparks.
Two by three by two they ease into darkness.

Timeless waters breach the shore
only to retreat, repeat until dreams spin
and the moon shimmers silvered streamers
gilding all beneath the last swallow of a margarita sky.
