Oahu Memories

Sunset Reveries

T' night after a peaceful bubbly sunset
And a well painted aftermath.
We 're about to stroll down
Alongside the Alawai Canal
Beneath aloha waving palm fronds
Carefully stepping around the biggest frogs
We've ever seen
At least twice the size of a normal bull frog
The radio station is disappearing into darkness
Lit up Kalakaua boulevard replaces setting sunlight
We cross diagonally headed up from Lipipee Street
Towards our apartment home at 710 Pumehana
The cool onshore breeze ripples her mumu and my aloha shirt
The tiki bar across the bridge is as unlit as ever
The crowd and the owners discourage haolis
Enjoying the privacy of talking the kind
And the simple pleasures of neighborly friends
The pupu and beer flows freely as the night deepens
Teriyaki never tasted so good and picking lichees
on the way back over makes the night taste forever

Wonderful. A very unique poem which made me feel like I was there with you (whether you want me there or not..lol...)
