Dry desert wind
Snares her hair
The attention makes her feel pretty
The breeze caresses her forgotten face
Intricately discovering the solitude
Buried in the contours
Of a lonely smile
Her invisible suitor
Grasps her hand
And breathes in her sunset eyes
The sand beneath her feet
Dances and flies
She is mesmerized
The warm current of southern air
Embraces her lithe body
The wind whispers her name
She knows it is time
She leaves her body behind
Sending her heart to the sky
Letting it ride
In the hands of her Sahara lover
