anywhere but here

When I dream of escape 
it is to the clear waters of Boracay,  
white sandy beaches, narrow
with shoals of fish in the shallows.

Coral reefs just meters from shore
we go by paraw boats, 
winged vessels I've never seen before.
We snorkel and dive 
to see a world out of this world 

Blue starfish, 
blue even in blue waters 
fish of every colour:
nemo hiding among the red anemone,
purples, greens, yellows, blacks
we go down and 
don't want to come back.

At dusk on cue
the sun dips into the sea
against an blood- orange sky
ending our day 
on a picture perfect high

Back at home in bed
we still rock  up and down 
with the waves 
of beautiful beautiful 
Boracay.
