"Persia Has a Name"

Sage.....,

Only you could figure
out how to get her...
camel, to flow willingly
upon your waiting lips
in such a heat

Adore the way you
said it as it even
made my lips moist.

You are wonderful.

Thanks for the
read.

Though I'm swept away by this marvelous poem, I'm not quite sure where I'm going, but, as always I love the words and the way you massage the words. Notably: "a lock of my hair triangled under her nose." It can't be said any better, and, damn, I wish I'd said it. So I'll wallow in my envy, Sage, and leave you with this modest haiku that somehow springs to mind:

her private garden
sweet with fragrance
he rests his head

Love, gene.

It's a mystery what its all about in a way, but I sure like the references, particularly to Mozart's Jupiter Symphony, one of my favorites I've listend to many times - would've preferred that music.Great imagery as usual...
