Forbidden Paradise
Beyond vermillion skies, over ancestral seas
past ripples of oceans in forgotten time
lies a forbidden island where young lovers dream
a secret, impassioned paradise.
A pellucid moon glows in the twilight of night
as wild, luscious jungles retreat in the dusk
where mockingbirds echo with loud, urgent cries
and pungent scents infuse with exotic musk.
‘Neath frangipani canopies young lovers go
with a menagerie of desires that only they know.
