Scheherazade's Memoirs

One thousand nights...
No - one thousand one.
The axe every day
Was hanging at dawn.
*
She bravely raised up
To difficult task.
With slight chance of life
If she becomes wife.
*
Artistically told
Amazing long tales
Kept Sultan at bay
And dark day delayed.
*
While Sultan was charmed
By stories and love,
She gave taste of lore,
Kept him wanting more.
*
The more of a myth
And mystery tales.
With Jeannie from mist
And passionate kiss.
*
The interesting thing
Arised from this game -
The strong grip of death
Brought hotness and depth.
*
Then two, who involved,
Were not in control.
The magic of Love
Connected their souls.
*
So, legend was born
And songs sang through times.
About wise girl
And Love that saved lives.
