Behind the Sea

by Muna Al Mesheikhi

You looked angelic in the beach house When I was there but I wasn’t.

You didn’t see me but the trees did, The beach and the waves did.

When I saw you I felt smooth jazz, An old, forgotten piano symphony.

Those glassy, honey eyes, Harmonizing with the mountains.

Your gold, light braids As shiny and dappled as sunset.

When it hides behind the sea, Your beauty glows.
