You lay on the sand
I gulped with surprise
In all of my years
Cultivating friendships
I had been the one
To make the first move
Turning I saw you
Across the laneway
Stalls and boutique shops
Eyes not on bargains
But only on me
The crowds shielded you
Then you melted away
Some blade cut you out
Etched clean from my sight
But a dream of mine
A few days later
Sun, sea, sand and shades
There from the water
You walked to your towel
Wrapped it around you
You lay on the sand
That warm afternoon
Turned your face to me
Smiled then you beckoned
And patted the sand
What more can I say?
Yes, I wanted you
You had set your trap
How willing I was
Mission accomplished
