Shahrazad Poem by Night Flyer

Shahrazad



Shahrazad, dancer of the night
Behind the purple lattice of Persian screens
You dance to the rhythm of ancient voices
Swirling in the mirth of frankincense
Spinning into the night.

I drink from the silver chalice of your smile
Seeing crescent moons reflected in your eyes,
The echoes of singing voices radiate the vision of desert nights
As I feel my passion flowing
A river of silver and gold melting into distant plateaus.

Desert enchantress,
Spinning your dance eternal in the lapis depths of evening's promise
I surrender now to your smile
Let me drown in the music of your dark eyes
Your seductive voice,
Leading me to misty moonscapes and ruined castle walls.

Shahrzad,
Swaying to the syncopating rhythms of bells and drums.
Beneath a Persian moon.
Drawing me to the magic of your spell.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a poem I wrote after being inspired by a music video of a popular Iranian singer. I read this at a poetry reading in Florida and was invited to recite this in public at a Halloween Ball in Hollywood. I accepted the invitation and read it a very crowded mid-east restaurant during belly dance performances.
