It was summer
that long ago dream filled day
When we walked
by the shoreline of a lazy sea.
The gulls cawed from above us as if
To celebrate our union
even they could recognise love.
I remember the slightness of you
Your summer skirts
blowing about your legs.
Your  hair a haze of auburn freedom,
I know it was at that moment
we became the only
two inhabitants of our own island.
the sea sending dancing wavelets
onto our bare feet.
Showing us we were now marooned
on this
Island that was to be
where our lives would
be spent until our our last breaths.
Was I so infatuated by by you back then
I know i offered you my breath
My blood my heart anything.
I remember your eyes telling me
Just give me your  heart my love.
So i tore it from my body and
Held out my hand
And my heart was in it,
