Interlude in the Tropics

Vivid azure of tropical skies,
Palm trees and sunny beaches,
Beauty, style and elegance,
An aura of luxurious euphoria
On the island of a million colorful moods,
Where cosmopolitan wealth succumbs
To the Latin flair and temper,
Delicious fragrance of mimosa,
Amber turning into night,
Filled with a million starry eyes
Of promise and romance,
Music drifting from the beach,
Dona Felicia's black, racy eyes
Burning the essence of my being
With the passion of her Spanish soul,
An interlude - never to be forgotten.
