Oh, I was just invited to A beach lagoon, a beach lagoon Crystal blue waters, ease my mind Unleashing my creative side Poetic versus organized Time to unwind, time to unwind White sand like silk between my toes Makes me want to rip off my clothes Keep on my mesh shorts I suppose I stand in pose, I stand in pose Many shells like the angel wing Skipping the waves, flat rocks I sling Sun tan is beginning to spring The pain it brings, the pain it brings Intoxicating scenery Secluded from society Just me, myself and poetry Feeling set free, feeling set free Sun starts to fade, the moon appears Just about bringing me to tears This day has quickly disappeared Now in my rear, now in my rear!
