Arabian Night

by Raskolnikov - Not entered

The horses frothed ans steamed,
Beat their iron hooves on
The hard dark earth

The caravan chases the dawn
Eluding the dark midnight

Trampling stallions create demons in the sand

The girl with the emerald eye
Dances
Burning a fire in the sky

Her visage haunts their weakened soul
Clouds their heads
With drunken images of love, sex and death

The parapets of the wall
Stretch to the scorning sun
Hoping to free themselves
From the desert penitentiary

Inside she lies
Laughing in ecstacy
Malignant erotica

Continue they run
Racing for a castle
That there was never

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this after my girlfriend left me for my friend and I think maybe it is about the simple pain and entrappment I felt.
