Here love erupts from a blue void,<\/span>
\nresolved to form its own island.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Locals sing of island love, words and harmonies<\/span>
\ndying in the winds, which makes them laugh.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love on a tropical island takes root<\/span>
\nin a day and thrives like madness.<\/span>
\nIt can wither in a week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Island love shifts slow as a sandy beach<\/span>
\nbecause here there is no time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When love wounds us, the saltwater cleanses,<\/span>
\nand tides offer up new love.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is only one love for each person on an island,<\/span>
\nand those who find it are lucky.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love can drift for thousands of miles,<\/span>
\ntake root and grow in coral rubble.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some days, island love needs to rest in the shade and do nothing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Island love is nocturnal. It steps out boldly<\/span>
\nwhen hens stop clucking and roosters stop crowing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On an island everyone knows who you will love before you do.<\/span>
\nAnd they know who you should never love.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how happy you are, outer islands<\/span>
\non the horizon promise infinite love and loneliness<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
