After three lines I thought "Like arabia"! this is like arabia! only in poem form...and not exactly the same...and prettier as poetry is always prettier...

*shuts up now*

ah wow. history is the greatest inspiration.

this reminds me of a man i used to know, and who left, and who i miss horribly. anyway. i love the 'hair like straw' line...and, ach the whole poem! lovely!
