The dust from hooves Coated white robes with grey And as if ghosts With only eyes uncovered We swayed in rhythm To the placing of splayed toes And gait designed to endure In this harsh clime. Your eyes grew heavy As the heat grew, So I sat you in front of me And balanced one arm Around your waist That you might not fall. Your lips were hidden But I saw the smile in iris And felt as if I were indeed a man Of great wealth and power To have such jewels sparkle Only for me. Modesty Prevented us from more Than the close ride that day, But when darkness fell And those who attended The animals we depended on Were off to their own tents We spared enough water To in turn rinse each other Of the day So in time we did not appear To be specters from some Long aged tomb But human You braided your hair And pale shoulders called My lips again to taste of your sigh As we lay on the same silk weave That was sought many months ago When this trip began And we knew the only comfort We could take was this A rug to share For sleep and softness Your legs had grown brown From the sun And I explored the lines of contrast That would fade as we returned To the town and left these long days Of desert to again live inside The thick walls of home. I know those lines now Will never fade from my mind For I have traced them with lips And eyes on the skin of my memory. Tell me love Do you still remember Then and the routes we traveled along the edges of ecstasy? Come... let me trace for you |

You braided your hair And pale shoulders called My lips again to taste of your sigh As we lay on the same silk weave That was sought many months ago When this trip began And we knew the only comfort We could take was this A rug to share For sleep and softness Your legs had grown brown From the sun And I explored the lines of contrast That would fade as we returned To the town and left these long days Of desert to again live inside The thick walls of home. I know those lines now Will never fade from my mind For I have traced them with lips And eyes on the skin of my memory.

Wishing I had written this piece....Now...I am gonna have to really scrape something together...and I have to watch closely or the Mods will jerk it for the flames that will be causing all of the sprinklers to go off in PiP.... (Sending the Fire Inspector...to check the fire alarm system....I think it is not working properly)... Magnus exits, grumbling.... |

Hey Ron, are you handing out spare sheets of your custom made tracing paper yet? LOL, this post is worth several readings, not to mention droolings. Rumor has it Rumi is grinning with each read. |
