Paradise Either Way Poem by Kevin East

Sleeping in a hammock
Between two palms.
A dancer of my dreams
Enhancer of all charms.
- My woman visits me
As in slumber I do sway
Said she wanted to be free.
Man, it's paradise either way.
I awake on tropical beach
White sand carpets the shore.
Her kisses are out of reach.
She has another at her door.
As they peruse their favourite clips
Of her latest Shakespeare play.
A Pina colada at my lips,
It's paradise either way.
Sunlight plays upon blue water
Like a silent pianist.
And sparkles like the ring he bought her.
As I reminisce of our first kiss.
So I left London on a ticket
For a sunbeam in blue bay.
Peace of mind my only requisite.
I'll find paradise either way.
