"If I keep a green bough in my heart, then the singing bird will come"~ Chinese Proverb A Tsunami of heavy humid air washes its welcome over meas I step from the plane onto the searing tarmac.Welcome back to Cayman,allure of the azure deep,that which first delivered me to her shores.Bazillion Caribbean starscaressed by jasmine flavoured breezes;Seven Mile [...]

If I keep a green bough in my heart, then the singing bird will come.~ Chinese Proverb Twice-baked days drenched by the sun,on the beach of seven miles,disbelieving eyes inhale robin egg sky, juxtaposed on turquoise seas.Bougainvillea blues howling deep from mangrove swampswhere scarlet beauty feeds my eyes with brilliance worth believing.Few rivals to the sensual [...]
Tamarinds and Casuarinas conspire to sway me from this heaviness. Pervasivenessstealing from me my breath,leaving me,just leaving me.

Wish I were there,waking up beside you…gazing into your sleepy morning eyes,caressing them with soft kisses…whispering sweet nothings into your heart,passionately loving like a runaway train...lingering for hours in raptured cuddles...showering each other in delicious ways…leaving us clean, deeply sated,wanting for nothing.Venturing outfinding a romantic bistro,a table for two...eating little, talking lesswhile falling head over [...]
