1001 Nights of a Man
In every man’s dreams
Sheherezada is coming to dance,
A lascive belly dance,
Promising countless
Of sensual delights
With her round hips
Like the waist of an amphora
For the generations to come.
In every man’s dreams
This beautiful brunette
Dances a dance of attraction,
Of freedom, unlocking the power
Of cosmic, unconstrained love,
Storming in him
That devouring passion,
That primordial call
To carnal fulfillments.
Every man
Wakes up in the morning
With the urge to seek his Sherezada
In every woman he meets.
