In January 2005, when I was living in Dubai, I was deeply infatuated with a worldly 23-year-old Lebanese woman (my age at the time), and I wrote her these five little poems that I’d send her via text messaging. I just couldn't resist.
OF YOU
A dream of you like risen rainbows,
A dream of you like fallen suns,
A dream of you as soft as petals,
I dream of you and all is one.
NONE COMPARES
A blessed desert that begat flowers,
A lucky dolphin which graced the sky,
The luck of all as to reach the rose in you,
No luck compares to getting close to you.
PASSION-CONQUERED DESPONDENCE
The sky did break and rain did follow,
I looked around and all was hollow,
Your face appeared and took away my sorrow,
Without you there’s no tomorrow.
TRUE INFATUATION
A buried treasure, a pot of gold,
How can one measure the infatuation I hold?
Finding a fortune that can never be sold,
To be with you is a pleasure untold.
TOGETHER
Make you quiver, be still my heart,
Take you away, may we never do part,
Take my hand, and fly with me,
Together as one, across a love soaked sea.
