Deliciously Tired Poem by persian khushi

Yesterday our and a few other areas were without electricity
Not sure how long it would last, we decided to spend the day out, exploring

Our first stop was the Pavilion, it was lovely, so close to the water's edge
Getting sprayed as the waves broke against the boulders

Strandfontein beach was windy, and eating sand was no fun
but the glistening ocean meeting sky was breathtaking

I wondered what it would have been like had you been there too
I couldn't help but blush at this thought
I guess I would have fallen in love with you, all over again

next was muizenberg, closed to the public
since 3rd of August, due to shark attack
did we heed this warning? No way.
the walk from there to st james was as usual a beautiful experience

thereafter we headed straight for houtbay harbour
by now, i was completely intoxicated by our scenic drive, the warm sun and especially the big blue

the bustle of people and chatter was but a backdrop
In a trance I nibbled lunch staring dreamily out to sea
until I was startled by his accent
'mademoiselle, may I....? ' I did not hear the rest of what he said
and without a thought replied, 'Oui monsieur.'

quite confused I looked at mama
after she nudged me hard under the table
I must be dreaming, I thought
there is a beautiful man sitting opposite from me
eyes amused with a dashing pearly white smile
I cleared my throat motioned to mama that we were ready to leave

on we went, exploring the few stalls,
cost of boat trips for our next visit
when there he stood yet again
the handsome Frenchman
with his hand stretched out holding my bag
my jaw fell and mama thanked the gentleman on my behalf
Although I felt like running,
I allowed her to steer me towards our car

my friends Lisa and harun were as usual amazed at my behaviour,
said absolutely nothing
giggles, for my head is always in the clouds
completing some creative project
or as I've mentioned before, intoxicated
by the beauty of creation
the hopeless romantic that I am
