(Poem) "Tears Of Pearls"

Tears of Pearls

From the abyss of my ocean
in an island of innocence
As remote as our dreams and fantasies
in the orient
You dive for my shelter
protected by a lifetime of
wisdom, truth, and justice

You enter my world
nescient and unaware
of the consequences it would bring
You take this pearl in your hand
and bathe her with your charm
promises of love, adventures and glory
I shimmer with excitement

Somewhere in the Sahara
we will feel the sands in our feet
At the Marrakesh we will sip
a hot brew of tea for two
I will dance to the erotic music of the belly
a prelude to Eros’ blessing
A carnal bliss of infinity

A fantasy of realism is born
in my heart, in my mind, in my soul
Sheltered in my shell, no more
I take your chained hands and feel your
dream, your wish, your fantasy
I become your love, your hope, and
everything that you need
And together we await a new beginning

One day, the bitter truth is unveiled
Reality and fantasy do not mix
Like parallel lines that never merge
You confess of your secret destiny
A life of eternal death
In your steel forest

The pearl in your hand is shattered
fragments flying to the heavens
They come down showering you

These tears of pearls
