Sleep well, my love

Dream of sunshine,

Birds of paradise,

Carrying butterflies ,

F L U T T E R I N G

Their rainbow wings,

in the lucid heaven.

Fields of orange trees,

P E R F U M I N G

Benign spring breeze.

Dream of multicolor

S P R I N K L E S

Hundreds-and-thousands

D R I Z Z L I N G

From the velvet sky

Dream of silk ribbons

Sewn on lily-white,

F R I L L Y gowns

Of children tasting

Vanilla cupcakes

For the first time.

Dream of moonlight

Of a sequined night

On a magic felucca

U N D U L A T I N G

Across the River Nile.

Dream of true lovers

E M B R A C I N G

Swathed together

In a cosmic blanket

of everlasting hope..

As your eyes close

I whisper my prayer

In your sleepy ears

I   L O V E   Y O U...

Brush your cheekbone,

And kiss away the tears.

Rest your precious

H E A R T B E A T

And pray with me

For the world to see

Beauty and peace

Sweet dreams, love

Will never cease….
