Ahlam Thiama

A scent I love so
It fills my heart with joy
It's different
It's unique

two words that mean
all things dear to me

There is a scent I love
I travel across the Indian Ocean
to buy it from the swahili trader

how lucky he is to have it near
he leans on it and hardly notices
but that little bottle waits patiently

for it's mistress who will come one day
with gentle hands
unwind its cap
and apply its fragrance

on her soft supple hands

there is a scent I love so much
It's waiting for me in that island
many will buy it's brothers and sisters

but it shall be patient
waiting for me

My dear scent
made just for me
