Desert Love

I felt the warm soft sand beneath my feet
Thro’ the day till the moon we would meet
My face glowed with a sunny shine
I was his and he was mine
Life was a spring, it bloomed it blossomed
He gave me a ring, it shone, it shimmered
Cherish able present, memorable past and a dreamy future
We were happy, content and ready to nurture

That day, even the sun got eclipsed, the clouds cried

He was a Martyr, they said he died
We were one, we were engaged, and ahead lied a celebration
And now he was gone, far away, serving his nation

But I know he is there, my heart tells me

I know he will come and I shall wait for thee                                                     
I keep waiting, my eyes dried up now
He said, he will come, it was a vow
I blink and blink, not a drop of tear
I stare and stare but no one out there

The sun gave up now, the moon gave light
Parched soul waiting only for his last sight
The wind was playing along with me
It grew wild and all I could see     
Was a faint horizon, a shadow, did he pass by?
Dust clogged lashes, my breath was a sigh

It was a storm now, and my feet were buried deep in sand

Body wriggling with pain, now its weak, I’ve lost my mind
I knew it was near, I knew I was there, and it grope
One last look, one last thought, one last hope
I kept on searching but it had embraced me,
I struggled, I pushed, against the storm as strong as i can be
He wasn't there and finally I embraced it, closed my eyes
There was an eternal silence, we hushed are last goodbyes

There was an infinite darkness

And at last I found happiness
My soul rose to an eternal bliss
He was waiting for me here, I should have realized this

We became one, swinging in his arms, my eyes glistered
Suddenly a tear rolled over my cheek, I smiled,
My love, did it have to happen like this??
He said “I missed you” and our souls rest in peace
