Premium Member Bedouin Eyes - With Apologies To Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
I bought a fine-bred stallion for a thousand dinars And navigate the wadi by the light of the stars, Oasis to oasis as the desert bird flies, Enchanted by the beauty of your Bedouin eyes.

Bedouin: Desert Transient
Freelance wanderer carefully navigating the vast expanse Shadow warrior doth stealthily advance without remonstrance With bartered lance, pawned knife; abridged parlance Shuffling in tantric harmony o'er unforgiving terrain; nuanced eccentric Camel cavalcade, entrancing spectacle across glistening sands prancing Shrouded by the frantic wind; each, cloaked itinerant a tenured mantic Trading the rationed provenance of open spaces for gratuitous providence of flowering...
