BAHRAIN
I sailed seeking the two seas
But found a turquoise heart
Sunk off the island shores,
Cupped it in my hands, as it
Painted a kaleidoscope
Of sea-foam pearls with its beats.
—–
Grazed the waters purple wind and met
The weathered men at sea,
Glistening brows of ocean sweat,
Their spirit is of salt, wind, and water
Drank from their generous tea
And cardamom conversation
—-
Slipped past the royal gates,
To the granted superiority of
Men in thorbes who glide not walk,
Donned in red and white
Alluring colors, that flap
Like proud flags in the wind.
—-
Took a night journey to
The Garden of Eden, saw an
Exquisite love struck angel
Hovering over a sea creatures heart
“Is life beautiful?” He asked as he
Slid a Dilmun amulet over my
Neck and we turned to gold.
—–
The sea creature frightened fled
Sinking through the indigo currents
We tapped the ocean floor
That gushed a fresh spring
And planted a rainbow to forever
Remember that space between
The two seas, between salty and sweet.
