*The Wind and I by Eugene Kharlamb*

I am dreaming of a warm summer night..  
lights flicker far away, lights all around  
but darkness hides us, surrounded by many yet alone,  
passing ships, pass by, we remain unseen

Lost from the world we find a world of our own  
Observing the etiquette of most proper occasion  
Away from civilization we engage in a delicate dance  
Rocking to the sound of waves gently slapping our sides

Looking away we look at each other, sneaking glances  
Openly staring, admiring, touching, sneaking glances  
Your features, my features indistinguishable in the total darkness  
The night is hot, warm breeze enveloping, playing with your hair  
The wind and I.
