There are times
when the words
get all stuck and trapped
on the inside
when the throat closes
you can’t get it out.
There are circles
keeping us from going forward
true loving though
keeps us from forgetting.
We can escape on Sunny vacations
where tan-lines went missing
topless in the sunshine
the golden warmth
there on your waist and bottom
reading and filling your mind
you’re my one-of-kind.
These early morning hours
long before the jealous sun
makes it impossible
to lay out naked
without getting burned.
Go ahead and enjoy those drinks
it’s still really early
when the sun is at high noon
we’ll slip on in
behind sheer curtains
you and your tanned
pretty curves
here on vacation.
