Pele has lost one of her lovers. I miss the goddess in all her majesty; Her deep blue oceans, sweet sandy beaches, Her dark black hair billowing down like the lava from the peaks of Her highest volcanoes. Her seven sacred pools, each one cascading gracefully into the next, all finally spilling into her magnificent sea. Her gorgeous body will forever entice my mind, with hair dark and beautiful, inhaling the scent of fresh pineapple and coconut, a hibiscus flower pinning back strands of hair behind her ear. Her eyes, they were just as deep and amazing as the sea, something with which they were so familiar. With lips red and lined with Hawaiian love songs sung just for you, tasting as fresh and young as the ocean itself. Her body was adorned with fresh tropical flower leis and Kukui beads falling gracefully over ancient Hawaiian dress; all made from the same grass and leaves coming from the islands many trees. All encircling those perfect hips, born to Hula and sway to any island rhythm, be it the slow and steady rattle of the Uli Uli, or the fast and powerful beat of the Pahu drum. Finally pushed over the edge by the sight of her long tan legs, not shy to the suns warmth and fiery grasp, ending in bare feet more familiar to the islands then we’ll ever be. I miss her and all her islands. Oh, how I miss the island paradise Hawaii.
