Rare Tulip

Though Arabic poem is my specialty
For you dear, I'll create English novelty

English poem, I'll try
Do you know why?
Coz my soul needs to fly
In the wonders of your sky


You'r a rare breed of tulips
Sweet cheeks with honey lips

Your petals are pinky velvet,
N' smooth, I love to touch it

Dear, I need meditation
My sweetie, my inspiration

Let your shadow stay
On me all day and every day

Let your breath meet mine
I get drunk with no wine

You know my little princess
Can't wish for more or less

Can't understand what is in me
It is admiration, can't all see

Or, could it be more than that
I can't be exact
Is it that deep in heart?

What does that mean?
I do not know
Time sure, will show
That's all now I know

Inspiration for this poem, is from you
I tell you from my heart, it is true
