by Sasami

Only a few silken ribbons
Clothe the rose which twirls before
Me, beauty personified,
An ancient message from wise
Ancient Araby and a
Tale from Eastern Cathay in
My mind, intoxicating,
Like the ruby wine that was
Formerly in crystal glass.
Perhaps it is a drug, yet
It is a sight from real life.
