A Valentine for Eypt

Egypt
You thrill me
I try to leave, but cannot
I push forward in the desert winds, feeling the palm air caress my face
The boats carry me away, but I return
a pull as strong as the Nile's current dragging me ever toward you
feeling your richness, feeling your depth
fearful of your embrace, but addicted to your bottomless charms
wondering how our story will end
