There was . . . (Free verse) by baphomet
I loved it when there was the ocean salt and
slight after taste of coconut lingering in my mouth.
There was the frequent North West swells that would
suede me to the endless waves.
There was the vast tropical mountain side taunting
me to explore it.
There was the petrifying feeling when I readied
myself to plunge off a thirty feet waterfall.
There was a way I pulled out the prawns from the
trap, like playing with a barrel of monkeys.
There was always the haunting feeling of eyes
watching you while I would dive for lobster at dusk.
There was a torch in one hand and spear in the
other while I combed the reef for octopus.
There was an over sized enjoyment of fighting and
reeling up an over sized Blue fined travaley.
There was the death defying hunt of the elusive
Razor back boar.
There was then the gruesome partaking of the
removal of pig intestines.
There was the digging of the imu, lighting of the pit
and putting the pig in.
There was the time consuming task of cooking and
preparing for the luau.
There was the painful reunion of the mass quantity
of family, like a stamped of cattle, but instead of
of horns they would kill me with kisses.
There was the much anticipated feast an
cornucopia of sustenance.
There was the effect of over eating sleepiness,
and the five hour coma.
And then there was the great dream of what will do
tomorrow ? But now Iâm in Hollywood a place
where I can only activate my infinity. Seeing it all
In my head like a moving picture.
