by Lillian Farzan-Kashani (Santa Monica, CA)
That’s where we fell in love
Clutching each other closer
Up until the very last moment
Beneath a blanket of stars in Herzliya
Our very own magic carpet ride
Insatiable no matter how much we embraced
Lit by the glow of the moon on the water
I saw it on his face
As he peered into my heart
