Desert for Rain

Love for you never stops nor rests

Yet from sleep it rises refreshed.

With your absence I grow weak

Your smiles make strong my breath.

I grow thin with hunger for you

Your heart fills me with sweet bread.

Without you my eyes are blind

With your love, no distance I can’t see.

I thirst for your love like desert for rain

Banks of dreams overflow with your name.

Sweet songs of your tongue fill my ears

Your silence is dark void between stars.
