I met Rowen 20 years ago didn’t really
know him at that time. 2 years ago I was visiting my mum in nz
and was staying with Dee and shells friends of mine for the full
7 weeks and Dee said I could go and meet someone for a coffee
which is still going on today don’t know what was in the coffee but has bought some big stories .I went on a site in New Zealand called NZ dating and this someone  started talking to me for a lengthy amount of time saying he was from the uk and talking about how I was on holiday 1 night before I was due to fly home and by this time staying with him at his house in mount maunganui he said I should go and pack my suitcase for going home I just went and stared at my case and did nothing he came in 10 minutes later and said why haven’t you done any packing yet I just broke down which got him going so we went for walk on the beach and as the full moon shone down I got down on 1 knee and proposed . 2 years on has bought 2 awesome families together

Fat waves roll across my painted toes
You hand holds my waist
Staring into the deep sea
I cling to you
My beauty,
My savior,
Your breath mingles with mine
Salty air ***** between parted lips
You warm touch lingers on my winded-beaten cheeks
Sweet-smell of hair pressed against my neck

All these moments
These longing for the times
Feel new soft cotton against my skin
Old cashmere jumper warm against your  chest
All these things I desire yet never have experienced
I just wish for a love that I can hold close
On these summer Ohope nights
With pohutukawa petals drifting across our bed
And the Maunganui mountains cupping us dear
And your warmth holding me
Until bright New Zealand morning.

All in good time,
Cupid says
All in good time.
