Lagoa verde

"It's a wonderful place,

like a heaven, on the earth,

the sky would be too close,

the whole beach is our own..."

She passionately spoke.

"It's too dull and boring here,

let's build a new home,

the whole island is for our taking,

we might even have lagoons." 

And I listened, to her tales,

motivated by her sweet words,

took the journey of a lifetime, 

leaving all of my belongings.

"Destination Lagoa Verde."

Ten days and ten nights,

hiding from hot sun rays,

basking in warm moonlight,

to the deserted islets. 

Away from the mainland,

where nature is abundant,

beautiful place only for us,

for building a lover's nest.

And it felt exhilarating,

the first few days of living,

even the hard work done,

were like, our future's investment. 

But soon we realized,

it's not all fun and games,

there's no help in sight,

when hurt, or paucity strikes.

There were some disappointments,

leading us to fights and quarrels,

with no outlet or ears to share,

cracks developing in relationships. 

So, we chose to return,

for, normality is indeed hard-earned,

in the quest for things different, 

we might lose, something precious.
