Secret Of The Desert
Amour
We walk along the Nile.
Your hand holding mine.
For a moment,
We're suspended in time.
*
The secret, of the desert,
Isn't a secret anymore.
The Nile breeze squeezes me.
You whisper amore.
*
We dance to the music.
Your body next to mine.
For a moment,
We're suspended in time.
*
The secret, of the desert,
Isn't a secret anymore.
The Nile breeze squeezes me.
You whisper amore.
*
We talk about the future.
Your eyes holding mine.
For a moment,
We're suspended in time.
*
The secret, of the desert,
Isn't a secret anymore.
The Nile breeze squeezes me.
You whisper amore.
*
We embrace each other.
Our hearts and minds entwined.
For a moment,
We're suspended in time.
*
The secret, of the desert,
Isn't a secret anymore.
The Nile breeze squeezes me.
You whisper amore.
Writer's notes: Twenty-five years and a day after writing the poem lyrics, I am publishing on Vocal. Sweet! The poem lyrics were written on June 26, 1996. It's lyrics only. There isn't any instrumental music. The picture is of the original writing.
Thank you for reading!
