sand dune (scrap paper poem 2005)

today my heart waited for you
love left me crouched
wiping away tears
face buried in my knees
we weren't expecting a visit
just wishing you'd flutter by

soft white desert sand
stinging and swirling around.
i am whipping across the land
free, like the grains of sand
caressing the horizon

you are there, just out of touch
a mirage, beautiful, peaceful,
a force field of physics

my soul holds a warm light
it is lit for you
how else would you find your way
to my heart?
i have been saving this light for you
let me set fire to your soul

hold my hand
your heart is broken
my free love shall,
like the wind in the desert,
build you up
no longer grains of sand
but, a dune to sit upon
and watch the sun set.
