Welcome to Miami

Welcome to Miami

Upon waking, he had

hoped she

might have seen him

in a whole

different light ..

Maybe, in honest

rich colours or even

some rare ones ..

But hey,

who could possibly

know for sure

and at what point,

or what cost ..

Do take note though ..

He always made

a big thing

out of being a poet ..

Then, not long after,

good morning,

she said, as she lifted

her head and placed it

back down again,

swiftly, in the nest

of both palms rested

lightly on elbows ..

And she

yawned, welcome

to Miami sir ..

Just be sure to have

a good time

while you’re in town ..

But in the interim,

I must say

that old Cuban

stamp in your

new English passport

looks great ..

Are you from

out of state

by any chance ..

Right now, I’m not

sure he replied,

but don’t

care anymore ..

Then leaned across

and kissed her shoulder,

just inches below

the cool

hummingbird tattoo ..

She lay there,

smiled and said

don’t dare tell a soul ..

It was meant

to be some kind of

swordfish ..

But hey, your

fingertips and tongue

on either side

of my wings or my

dorsal fin like that will

sure do nicely for now sir ..

Ha! I remember in my youth knowing a lady who had a hummingbird on her shoulder.
Fast forward thirty or so years and four kids later, it looks more like a melted dodo bird now!
And that's not mentioning all those dolphin tattoos that the years and kids turn into blue whales!

The city of Miami, tempting conversation and a hummingbird tattoo. You create a wonderful place to be and to know. Thank you Neville for sharing the outstanding poetry.
