NASSENI BEK

Nasseni Bek... I forgot myself with you...-

I thought that you actually walked out of my dreams, that day-

In my dreams you sat by the Nile, brown, beautiful and regal-

I come and sit near you, tenderly. I then take your hand-

Your hand felt as if you bathed in Shea and milk-

I take it up, slowly and place it upon my face-

The hands of a nurturer,... a Queen. I was instantly humbled-

In the presence of a Sultana... I saw you there in the Sun-

Your skin glistening like the noon sun glinted surface of Lake Nubia-

You somehow, suddenly became the Nile River itself-

Churning, beautiful and slow, I drank from you, Beloved-

My thirst quenched, I held you and felt your many curves-

I held you like the banks of the great Nile holds it's waters, only temporarily-

Nasseni Bek... I forgot myself with you-
