Having read some very old poetry I'm trying to see if i can
use the same style, if a bit modernised.

Poema Arabigo -Andaluz

Ibn Zaydun sat in his garden, near the singing
Fountain, thinking of his brother's wife .
He, the brave one, who had gone off to a distant Battlefield, spreading peace through war and been
Killed for his effort, leaving behind a beautiful widow.
Last night she sought his embrace, and he thought of
Her smooth hips, those of a girl who has yet to reach
Full womanhood, her firm almond body and her
Moist nascent. A sudden chill spooked palm-trees, when shadows become the day and he knew that
She would never be his; her eyes told him so.
This widow in black, who had given her eternal
Love to his brother.
