Wandering the desert of my longing,
I somehow forgot to forget you.
I have lived a lifetime in your eyes-
beginning and inevitable end. Yet-
like a mirage stretched on the horizon
you haunt me in my dreams.
Like a fistful of sand I hold you
but you slip through my fingers
and are lost in the wind.
There is no oasis in this desert,
no minarets of towns from the tales I've told,
And the only water you will here find my love,
will be the tears in my eyes.
