The harem's life

The harem's life

The harem's golden doors

Meet me with a frigid stare
Seen it before so many fragile women
Coming inside not ever to abscond

I enter in the trepidation accompanied by eunuch
Huge fellow lost his masculinity to serve the ruler
What waiting there in far rooms of the sumptuous palace?
Old satyr sultan tasting every night new guest ,new virgin

I am passing galleries,soaked with hedonism
It's all about pleasure and the leisure here
Feast to the eyes,death to the freedom
Once you come, there no way out from the golden cage

Welcomed to the circle of the plying hands
Anointed me in oils and the perfumes
Draped in the silk and velvets ,I am wrapped but naked
Under scrutinizing gazes,full of the jealousy and hate

And then they let me go alone along the pongee walls
Barely lighten to cast more shadow on already somber mood
To meet my destiny in hands of rich and greedy man
I know ,after rendezvous I will be different somehow
