From Here To Persepolis Poem by Night Flyer

Desert star of melting silver,
Gleaming through the clouds
The crossroads of desert merging in midnight's gloom,
From here to Persepolis
This royal road of ghost castles, disappearing into nowhere,
Neath glowing starshine
Like fields of rubies in the night.

Crescent moon in the heights of clouds, luminous, over desert vistas
I hear the Silk Road calling me
Toward endless mountains, unconquered in the purple night
My dreams, my treasure, slipping by like hot desert sands
Carried by the wind over crossroads of infinity.

Castles crumble in the clouds
As Shahrazad of the night sings her stories to the wind,
In waves of desire, over Parthian roads of barreness,
My passion burning like stars in the sky
Feeling the warm caress of desert winds against my face
As I follow my love to the end of time,
Through the swirling sands of Persian nights.
