Dusk In Alal-Sin's Eyes
Dusk comes in hues of purple and blue
As I traverse the barren cold landscape
My thoughts are solely with you
Your bright-eyed glance
Penetrated my cursed daytime trance
And in my dream of dreams we walked in the sun
I feared to wake lest it become undone
Through the silken gauze like a shadow I creep
And lo, I find thee in the realms of sleep
I stand and watch your sleeping form
Close to the dying embers that keep you safe and warm
I long to touch your silken skin, and taste your scent, and drink it in
To cradle your head and caress your lips
To run your hair through my fingertips
Seeing your peace makes my eternal heart burn
To be warm in your arms is all my thoughts do yearn
Tenderly I kneel close to thee
Tell me what your dreaming eyes see
Do we dance beneath the moon?
Do we sing in the sun?
Do you catch my lover’s swoon?
Oh that you know the faces I’ve loved
The lovers I’ve known, the songs I have sung
Know that they pale in the wake of your smile
The touch of your hands, the graze of your lips
Wake now sleeping love and lock your eyes to mine
I will show you my world, of moonlight, and time
Again I pluck the stars from the sky and give you their song
So that you know that my soul to you does belong
Wake my beauty, my love, my Persian muse
Let me show you my world that was mine to choose
