Kerkyra
I close my eyes to see you again
I can feel you with every beat of my heart
Can smell you, can taste you
With each breath
My mind takes me back to the start
You had me hook, line and sinker
From the moment we met
As my feet touched your shores for the first
With each passing day, you did blow me away
With your passion, your joy and your thirst
As your culture consumed me
I gave you my soul
Fell in love like a fool at speed
In your protection I flourished
A bond that I cherished
As you met everyone of my needs
You gave me confidence
Brought back my smile
As I basked in your sun everyday
I swam in your seas
Giving pleasure with ease
All aglow in your summer haze
As we departed
I was left broken-hearted
Time came to break the spell
The summer was gone
We had to move on
So we had our final farewell
The memories will stay
As I go on my way
Locked deep in my heart and mind
My saviour, my friend
There you'll keep to the end
Kerkyra, you're one of a kind.

...thank Zeus it was an Island, I was beginning to get jealous.
