desert blossom - Dubai

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 ...
