1.
She lives on a tropical island
Feels vagaries
of watery surrounds
Ferries dictate her freedom
She drowns when controlled.
2.
Sandy night walking
Paddling in froth and bubbles
Splash cold water
Flicking the anxt away
Into the grey lapping ocean.
3.
Stressing on a tropical island waves lapping your sanity
Go pick a banana
From your paw paw tree
Lick some raw passion from
Fresh mango flesh
Paint a Whitley water masterpiece
Embrace sunny green zendom
And kayak your sanity to freedom
Whenever you choose.
