Sheltering in the shaded gardens of the Alhambra
I opened the treasure chest where I had hidden you smile,
you lured me through cool courtyards, where we
kissed and embraced by warbling fountains.
Intoxicated by the kiss, dreams led through the quarters
of the harem, where we caressed and caroused
till the sun became moon. Wanting to capture the stars
that shone in your eyes, I sealed your eyelids with
a kiss, and fixed your dreams.... before disappearing
into the jasmine scented night...
