Desert Rose

“Desert Rose” "I dream of rain / I dream of gardens in the desert sand / I wake in vain / I dream of love as time runs through my hand / I dream of fire those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire / and in the flames her shadows play in the shape of a man’s desire / This desert rose each of her veils, a secret promise / this desert flower no sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this" – Desert Rose by Sting (2000). For my Rusty: seldom in the pictures, always in my thoughts.
