Love Poem: Oasis

Oasis

I hope to see you soon
my oasis in the scorching heat
quench my thirst for love
shade me from the rays of loneliness

Free to roam the infinite desert
yet I beg for the captivity
of emerald green palm trees
and sapphire blue lakes

A glimmer in the distance
a shimmer on the horizon
does here lay my garden of eden
in these planes in oblivion

I approach to see the reality
just a mirages’ trickery
the imagery that appeared so real
still hides her face in this desolate place

A forgotten feeling to remember
lost again in a world so harsh
left with a greater thirst
and a weakened soul

I know salvation exists
my oasis in the scorching heat
with every brief glimpse of fantasy
I come closer to my final reality
