Constantia- Nubile

One thousand and one fluttering butterflies in one centre all
                                    
                                    flap their wings sharing ambrosia for my soul mate and I

Mysterious nights in soft embrace tending sensuous flight 
                                     
                                     dance to tunes of the muezzin praying for love’s melody

Turkish delight on the shores of Baklava sweat meats taste
                                 
                                 under a veil of exposure in nubility’s promises reconfirmed

Silk’s fragrance on a magic carpet in full flight shelters them
                           
                           as their passion was made for more than the dusk of the dawn

Mosque and musk mingle when fast is broken and garments unfastened in
	     
             the East when sun rises bids farewell to the moon and their vows bow to

Tantra cosmos and mantra and 
                                     
                                     give thanks to the orbit they do not have to travel alone

Thank you so much. And thank you for sponsoring this contest. I am a rebel and fiercely independent (so I make myself believe). But I need both triggers and encouragement. Many wishes, Kai
