You want to become a red camellia <br />That sings stardust rhymes <br />The endless journey goes on <br />Kissing gently the moon of the Northern sky <br />Then sleeps in a magenta crown <br />Stand up to the victory! <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great poet, Nikki Giovanni)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-want-to-become-a-red-camellia/
