I invoke you, sweet goddess,
Meet me in the night,
Where we can't be seen or recognized,
We'll slip between the shadows
And out of sight
Back into the novel we left behind,
Where your ocean blue eyes
Danced upon the hot dessert sands
And my hands found you,
Beneath the folds of your night-black robes…
Tenacious Desert Rose of delicate beauty
I have succumbed to your fragrant charm
The weeks pass by
and I have kept to my own tent
my candle's single, lonely flame
Sends my mind reeling with thoughts of you
Your silk, smooth moistness,
And nimble energy unleashed within your roots
I want to dance
To the ancient tribal rhythms that live inside you…
Desert Rose of subtle power,
your gifts are given - but not taken
you are a mirage of hope and happiness
in a world stark with sand and sky
The shining jewels of mystery
That adorn a crescent moon in a black velvet night,
Pale beside the soft, muted colors
Within your flower,
Deepening with my gaze,
Drawing me in
Like a bee, intoxicated by his discovery
you are all that I see
