Here I am, Here You Are

Jagged pieces of red coral

tangled in his hair

Hawaiian man dancing

sensually watched by one.

Red coral enhanced mood

built her self-confidence

as is the legend

allowing the lady

to take what she wanted

finding the coral rich

and romantic as was

the man she had

in her sights.

His hips swayed with the music

lei festooning his neck

stomach muscles taut

skin dusky and glowing

shadowy eyes watching her

as she beckoned with hand

he slipped from his troupe

and followed her home.

Eia Au, Eia ’Oe

Here I am, here you are.
