Secret Of The Desert

We walk along the Nile.

Your hand holding mine.

For a moment,

We're suspended in time.

*

The secret, of the desert,

Isn't a secret anymore.

The Nile breeze squeezes me.

You whisper amore.

*

We dance to the music.

Your body next to mine.

For a moment,

We're suspended in time.

*

The secret, of the desert,

Isn't a secret anymore.

The Nile breeze squeezes me.

You whisper amore.

*

We talk about the future.

Your eyes holding mine.

For a moment,

We're suspended in time.

*

The secret, of the desert,

Isn't a secret anymore.

The Nile breeze squeezes me.

You whisper amore.

*

We embrace each other.

Our hearts and minds entwined.

For a moment,

We're suspended in time.

*

The secret, of the desert,

Isn't a secret anymore.

The Nile breeze squeezes me.

You whisper amore.
