Even now as we sit partaking from this wine and dried fruit we so horded on those long days of trekking across barren sands under the sun which never relented in its efforts to burn us into a state of purity the sand is shifting into the tracks of our camels and soon we will be a forgotten trace but for the hidden or protected odd print that does not settle into the dunes but lingers a day or two after we are gone. Our lives were such prints until they joined as they have today and we found the bonds of grain allowing a bit of us to be left when we are gone and resting in the arms of Allah Perhaps someone will read of us and wonder at how our love so reflects theirs of how it was when we were young and ran naked along the rivers edge only to fall into each other and join the water as we joined flowing... like sand like water The days change us the years.. rob us of the time Even now... there are grains blowing across the lines of this page obscuring the words abrading the hearts Sip with me. the night is young and tomorrow we must journey on I will read for you those things I have written and you may frown or smile at the clumsy words "It begins here, with you and ends only when the sphinx no longer stares."

It does begin... with you... when we read, and are quenched, or at the very best, inspired...yet again. |

"The days change us the years.. rob us of the time" I robbed myself of time by wasting it on the wrong people... Your writings are so romantic and hopeful.. Susan |

I particularly like the latter part of this: from "Even now . . ." A nice sense of time, enigma that it is. Kraw' |

LOL @ JM!! Damn bud, saw your name, thought it was a mirage. Must be those darn buttons I been chewing on...  Seriously, this is a perfect example of the kind of poetry I like most from you. Classic Capt...  |
