In The Desert
Beneath the scorching sun,
From an ocean of sand,
You appeared,
Your dark tresses overshadowing,
Shaming the day into night,
Your piercing eyes subduing the stars,
As they lay softly at your feet,
You beckon to ecstasy,
In subtle moonlight,
My mind has turned to jagged shards,
As worldly thoughts have abandoned me,
So with sweet sounds of stars beneath my feet,
Like chimes in the wind,
I ascend,
To twilight bliss.
