Untouched 
Exuding bright rays of hope 
Island of beauty

Adored by many
Pristine serene and misty 
Far from prying eyes

Not readily seen
Rare glimpse at the window 
Smiles are luxuries

A forbidden fruit 
A courtship of old
Jumping for joy
Uppermost, Mom’s approval

  1. Beautiful words...and then I am caught at "Smiles are luxuries..." Perhaps everything is not as it seems. There's sadness here, I think.

  2. A beautiful poem, but perhaps with something else lying beneath.
