Bodysurfing the south Atlantic tide
Face ploughing through towering whitecaps
with wide-open eyes to the horizon
Laughing under a setting sun
Silhouettes of coconut palms
set against pink and orange glow
Infinite prints into the skies
radiating from an LSD mind
The vast expanse of roiling patterns
A backdrop for the waves crashing
against wooden docks, bridges, and piers
Imagine the sound of pirate boots
clunking towards the Caribbean seas
Dreadlocks tangled with saltwater
Gliding aloe across sun-baked flesh
With musical Spanish, flamenco guitar
Railroadin' songs 'round a beach bonfire
Raw and tough with a mouthful of
sodium brine burning the throat
and a bottle of rum to soothe the pain
Dizzy with a stroke of heat fever
Woozy from sun and red wine
Stumbling and dehydrated, these kids
are still dancing all the time.
I would give anything for adventure if you would give everything for love.
