Sunset Penguins

Our golden ocean is here,

as our silhouettes give away

our lifelong romance.

Looking into the blue,

glancing beyond

Neptune’s finest evening jewellery

to see what lies within where

you and I can both fly,

the swallows of the marine,

dive and dance and dare unseen.

Remembering a future

and a dream that’s always shared

without even a look

or a touch beyond a heartbeat –

companions in a calm thought.

Without a word, together we know,

as the falling sun departs,

our shadows are only short

 - Antarctica’s summer sapphires,

descend into the blue

and catch the dream

that waits for you.
