From all directions
An assault on the senses –
A thousand welcomes
From all directions
An assault on the senses –
A thousand welcomes
Numerous trails
Decorate the sky –
To where? I wonder
Glad to be back home
Petals adorn my doorstep
Rows of blossom trees
Sunscreen clad tourists
Kohl around bedouin eyes –
Rose in the desert
Perched above Amman…
Roman remnants alongside
Umayyad ruins
Dusk and it’s mild
Boogie, the hotel’s cat sleeps –
Echoes of Athaan
Between the two mosques
Sea of colourful tulips –
Seated, he sketches
