Bharat Trivedi - Arabian Mirage
Crawling towards a distant delusion, <br />I reach the illusionary lush green oasis, <br />where the cool blue waters offer me their luscious lips <br />to quench my insatiable thirst of centuries. <br />Passionate palms swinging in a ferocious frenzy, <br />invite me for a siesta under their breezy shaded lap. <br />I hallucinate of semi-clad Arabian dancers! <br />Their bare bellies sway <br />to the exotic tunes of a mystic oriental melody! <br />Snaking serpentines entwined to their damp sweaty bodies <br />and their amorous arms and long legs gyrate in unison <br />to the rhythmic pulsating beats… <br /> <br />Alas! that mystic mirage has vanished <br />and I am lost somewhere in the <br />scorching sultry dunes of Sahara. <br />Last grains of sands of time <br />slip to the bottom of my dusty hourglass <br />and gasping for few drops of nectar of life, <br />the eternal expedition <br />of my existence <br />ends… <br /> <br />Copyright ©2008 Bharat B.
