Aloha Annie (part 1)

It had been six months
Since she had arrived
On the island
She had finally relaxed enough
To stop looking over her shoulder

She had changed her name
'Annie' was gone...dead...buried!
She was now 'Dawn'...
Appropriate for someone starting over
But nothing too fancy...
Didn't want to call attention
To herself

She had given up nursing
Given up being a loyal sucker too!
Nearly winding up six feet under
Was the wake up call she needed!

Now...she tended bar by night
And sailed during the daytime

On this lovely blue sky day
She was kicking back relaxing on the boat
'Free Spirit' seemed like such a suitable name
Blue skies...blue water...
Wonderful feeling...free!

She often thought about
The man who had saved her life
She owed him so much
And wished that somehow, they could meet
So she could finally thank him, in person

He had given her just enough time
To get a few things together...
Make a few financial adjustments
To her husband's bank account...
And get the hell out of town! !

She figured that one million $$
Would be enough to set her up
Call it a bonus for...
Pain and suffering...
Living with a psychopathic jerk!

She dropped anchor in a quiet cove
She had just enough time
For a little sun and a quick dip
Before heading back in to go to work

She tossed aside her bikini top
And lay down on a towel
She couldn't recall ever feeling quite as free
As she did here

Tan time!
Perfectly relaxed...
Sun glistening on bronze skin
Nipples tingling in gentle breeze
She loved sailing...
There was something so sensual about it

She was totally oblivious
To the set of eyes watching her
Through a pair of high powered binoculars...

To be continued...
