Desert Love

My lover’s face

Is nothing like the desert plain’s

Wide open space

 

Her rising breast

Cannot compare to sand dune curves

Which never rest

 

Her diamond ring

Is nothing like the desert rose:

Dull shimmering

 

My darling’s eyes

Are nothing like the sticky dates

With buzzing flies

 

Her moistened lips

Cannot compare to fresh mint tea’s

Sweet steaming sips

 

Her flashing smile

Is nothing like the sun’s bright glare

For endless miles

 

Yet both seduce me

Boundless in their natural beauty

Both infuse me
