She waits for me

She waits for me in Samarkand
An Island made of timeless sand
A fantasy of argosy
A wily wit of ecstasy

She stays within an Ivy tower
Like the beauty of a flower
And offers me a phantoms lie
Made of dreamers earth and sky

She is the nectar of my mind
Sweet of drink warm of bind
The dew that come with ever dawn
The sun that wakes me every morn

A creation of my longing id
Pandora’s box without a lid
A spirit that is not a goal
But is to me my very soul.

Oh Samarkand, oh Samarkand
I place my ring upon thy hand.

Oh this is SO beautiful Sy!
And, it does read like a song.
Time for tea?  I'll pour.
~Morning hugs, Nancy~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain ~

Now, if that isn't one heck of a stanza, I guess there never will be one!!!!  Much enjoyed. ......jo
