This Sahara Desert Elopement Inspiration is Romantic Moroccan Wanderlust Wedding Goals | Junebug Weddings

Calm and soundless escapes of beautiful sceneries dormant, as the Pharaoh's daughter BY early morning dawn ! Cool starlit darkness, landscapes of subtle colors, mulched in softest light ... The sky slowly transitions from deep blue to hues of pink, orange * gold * As the air crisp and cool carries the scent of dry earth to your nostrils, one grain of sand at a time Hints of blooming desert like flowers falling on you, after a long awaited rainfall (inhale) it Evening arrives, the dreamer, lost in a desert dream arrives at dusk's door. Looping colors of terracotta and rustic brown Closer to the Nile the heart is seen, seeking and searching, For Sacred Rivers that flow Inside the dreamers mind, the soft winds blow, just before they settle in, setting the world on fire with, AFTERGLOW !!!

Valentino! The kids today are too young to know such old romantic features. Why I enjoy living so close to the desert, just a skip and throw from my diggings. 116 today in Phoenix. Beautiful, enchanting writing as usual...from one who has obviously had a past life in ancient Egypt.

Your poem creates a serene and evocative desert-dreamscape, beautifully transitioning through morning into evening, with vivid sensory detail and emotional resonance.

Serenity of soul and spirit is what we all strive to achieve Jay, if the poems speaks to you that way then I accomplished my goal as a writer of fantasy. Thanks for reading. :)

Such a vivid, dreamy piece—felt like I was walking through the desert at dawn and dusk. Loved the sensory depth and the meditative pace. That afterglow ending is just perfect!
