Burka Woman

Such deep amber green eyes Stare into me Like arrows that so delicately pierce my heart She is covered in a curtain of black woven cloth Ah but her hair flows like caramel She is concealed and wrapped, the camouflage of fear The burka hiding the princess within I may not see with my eyes Oh but how my heart dreams Of running in the meadows, laughter at our own happiness Her voice is musical, and softly charms my soul I am lost in illusions, of this woman in chador She hides inside this blackness Her heart protected by dragons In the dragons lair so deep I gaze intently into this darkness I breathe the fire of rejection I have no chance with this maiden of such beauty You see Her dress is blue like the summer breeze Her hair blonde like the golden skies She is the desire of many a suitor As she sleeps in the drum tower High above all of loves intentions The bailey her only wanderings As you see the only burka she ever wore Was around her heart
