Khaled; my legend
I plait my poem,
Letters of heavenly fragrance
Arranging its words
A bouquet of scented flowers
I sang its melody
Whispers of soft musk and pink amber
Pouring it down upon your heart
A cascade of lights
Tranquility and peace
I gather its pages of autumn leaves
From the land of wonderful dreams
Adorned with paintings, sublime
Rainbow colours and Eastern nights
With a mystical thread of stars
I embroider my legendary love story
A book, like no other
A masterpiece of passion
A testimony of Divine grace
A saint’s adoration of paradise
Weaving Joseph’s coat of multicolour
Of summer’s warmth
The glory of spring
And the longing in lovers’ hearts
Throw it over your shoulders
Heavenly embrace
Then, with a child’s magical wand
Turn you into a sparkle of light
Hide you in my heart
Cherishing and protecting you
To blossom with eternal life
That matches your name
My beloved husband
1996
