Scheherezade’s Song of Songs

1::
A Thousand Days
A thousand beautiful things
A Thousand Nights
A thousand precious dreams

2::

She came to my gate and asked: If I enter, will you love me?
I said : Yes I will

After I had cooked for her, she asked: Would you like me to dance for you?
I replied: That would be indeed an honor.
She danced her heart out. And breathless said: I know some other steps.
Make Love to Me. I will show you.

And I made love to her…
And she showed me.

In the morning she said: You are a wonderful man. I love you.

After breakfast she said: I know a secret. Would you like to hear it?
I had to reply: Yes I would…

She said: Come with me to the Ocean, and I will tell you.
So I did follow her

When we got there she spun about, flinging her arms wide shouting to the sky:
I want your love, to be loved, as wide as this Ocean.
Will you do that?
I said I would surrender up my own life, and I would die loving her.

She lay down on the sand saying: Make love to me here by the Ocean. I am called Scheherezade.
Make love to me and I will sing for you…
And I made love to her. And she sang for me,

and I will swear that I do not recall the words,
But I remember love, loving and being loved.

And every day Scheherezade sings to me… I can hold her,
But not her words.
And every day I have to hold her again, look into her eyes again, to hear the words she sings.
Again
Wash upon me like the waves of the Ocean we see and touch and hear and cannot hold.

I said to her: Will you not teach me the words.
She laughed and whispered: You know the words. Look in my eyes.
The words are written there on my heart. Like a mirror.

I laughed also: For I had been looking so long at her heart, I had not seen the writing. Now I can

She turned to me and said: I know another Song. Would you like to hear it?
I looked in her eyes and said: I know that Song.

I will sing it.
With
You
