velvet-soft touch,
a rainbow sunrise,
naïve smiles
reflected in your eyes.
caribbean lightning,
words written in sand,
goosebumps rising
up my arm, down my hands.
tropical jungle,
a caressing breeze,
sun-kissed freckles
spilling over me.
sweat-drenched longing,
a turquoise bay,
your quiet glance
burning like fate.
scorching sunlight,
hunger in flames,
a mariachi chorus
dancing 'round the blaze.
spanish murmurs —
'vamos al bar',
your family waits
with mezcal in a jar.
bare feet wandering,
a crimson sky,
the sea kisses shells
the tide leaves behind.
seductive darkness,
a star-scattered dome,
the high-risen moon
spins legends of home.
a gentle touch,
chestnut-brown eyes,
beneath the palms,
desire comes alive.
laughing gulls,
a tide that won’t part —
and in this sand
i bury my heart.

this one is about a holiday we took to forget about love – and then a different kind found us. translated from hungarian.
