Paradise Problems

Beguiling but belligerent beauty

love longing in lusaphone paradise

between warm waves and cold caipirinhas

hearts flowers, brittle pansy shell parcels

defending fortressed ruins of old emotions

insecurity seeking solace in tropical skies

wounded word waves break violently

on massively miniscule milky way shores

snorkeling on the surface of life’s depths

jealous witness to carefree fauna foreplay

mermaids only swim truly naked at sunset

burnt bodies begging passion's forgiveness

as the best intentions melt in translation

wood game enemies yearn for peace

lovers linger in corona limbo, ever hopeful

a coconut palm sunrise mourning humour

and the Mozambican mosquito massacre

of hurt herbivores beat by heat of retreat
