Sunscreen clad tourists
Kohl around bedouin eyes –
Rose in the desert
Sunscreen clad tourists
Kohl around bedouin eyes –
Rose in the desert
Large orbs of onyx
Mesopotamian eyes –
Lost in desert night
Silently rising —
Sand begins to change colour
Yet it remains cool
The cactus flower
Like a rose in a desert —
But it does not last
The sands always change
The desert differs by night —
Not a soul in sight
A cool desert night
Twinkling stars in abundance —
Yet I miss the Sun
