Poem


* For His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum *

oh …

how I’ve dreamed of you -
sultry mistress to the sun's ire …
dappled and coy amid the palms, a-sway
your eyes of the gloaming’s
vault shimmering with the Milky Way …
Luna, red as rouge to
blush your cheek of sacred sand
dune drifts, the waves of
your golden tresses …

you …
a flawless gem, shimmering
cut and polished with care and perfection to
sunder the sunlight into rainbows -
to focus the best energies and
acumen of humankind
and seed an oasis orchid with a
bloom, exquisite and rare …

oh proud are you
jumeirah, jadhab and mutheer ...
soon and sure
we shall woo each other -
you, Princess of the Arabian Desert
me, fool for your fevered wiles
tempted from afar …

you, immodest and lush
with such lavish loins of excess
arms of extravagance, beckoning me
decadent, seductive …
warm, endless summer night
whispering fancies …

take good care, my heart
the soft echos of its dire drumming have
yet returned from the firmament
final pulses not abounding ...

but the rhythm it
hereafter composes is graciously
sacrificed for your admiration …

offered up to your dream -
sweet song of your gilded breeze …

the aria of my tawny, torrid temptress ...

DUBAI!
