Passion On The "Dreamland"

Magical, mystical, moonlit motion,
A brilliant ballet beneath azure sky,
Boats bobbing, hearts throbbing as the ocean
Rises and falls on the tides, low and high.
The "Dreamland" moored and resting peacefully,
Portholes golden glow, flickering candles,
Harbor masts dance and sway so gracefully.
Captain and mate, loving embrace, sandals
On the empty deck. Clothing scattered here
And there. Moans and gasps float on the breeze,
Unheard. A distant Seagull on the pier
Enjoys a scrap of bait left there. The sea's
Perpetual motion sways the "Dreamland."
Rising and falling at lover's command.
