My Sihaya

This poem is inspired by Frank Herbert's masterpiece DUNE. It is the name that Paul Muad'dib gives to Chani, his beloved wife. It means Desert Springtime in the fictional Fremen language.

 

My soul longs to drink of you.

 

A fount in the ever stretching sands of my heart.

 

This oasis of joy that are your eyes.

 

The swaying palms are the waiting arms of my love.

 

In the night the stars smile down upon me.

 

Your eyes show me the doors of your heart.

 

The breeze blows the scent of you to me.

 

It crosses the wastes, calling.

 

I answer.

 

 Moving across the desert to your open arms.

 

My Sihaya.

What a beautiful piece of writing, subtle, passionate, fine meter - it flows like a pure mountain stream. Lovely.

Thank you for sharing: 'The breeze blows the scent of you to me. It crosses the wastes, calling. I answer.'
