Dark honey tanned skin glistens From the moisture of humidity. The ladies flirt shamelessly with You, but your eyes gaze upon me. Your stature looms at six foot three. Your swimmer's shoulders impress. In our island sea we swim leisurely, Traces of salt remain as you dress. White sandy beaches, ever your haven. We sip Riesling as the stars appear. Nestled in your arms, time takes flight. I feel so safe when you are near. Your strength amply hides a tender heart. The depth of your voice all admire. When we first met I became enamored, Feelings that quickly turned to desire. We have shared so much over the years. More happiness than dark sorrows. Family treasures that brightly shine, Reigning with love into our tomorrows. In the autumn of our lives I feel the chill Of winter's inevitable harsh advance, Yet days of youth remain in our hearts, Memories held, that time shall enhance. Poem of the Day October 27, 2017 Late October Standard Contest-Third Place Sponsor Brian Strand

This is a gem, a jewel . . . absolutely first rate (wish I had written it). "Reigning with love into our tomorrows"--an especially wonderful line in a poem full of wonderful lines. Bravo. Hugs, always, Paul
