Array ( [sid] => 18163 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Oasis [time] => 2003-05-28 19:35:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Not too soon, but just in time, always there for me,
I just had to find you
in the sands, that through my fingers spilled
like my broken heart, filled
with tears and a longing not to be alone.
Your voice in the night holds
my heartache and your promise told
me where to find you
in the deserts of falling in love with me.

How is it that the caravans, trinketed with lamps and gold,
carry me away from you?
They do not hold my fire long...
but from time to time, I fly free of you
only to come back winged, broken
in another love lost on deserting dunes,
resting again on your breast:
a heart to love me,
a hearth to warm the cold.

What makes you wait alone, reaching to me,
knowing that my thirst,
unquenchable in your shade,
finds me losing my uncharted love
to horizons beyond my journey;
how my aching heart, trembling legs
retreat, following our starry ceiling back to you...
what makes you harbor me,
what makes me return to you?

Damsel in the long day, apart from me,
cooled only by the promise of your dark knight
in evening, when I rest the windmills of my heart on your bed,
and the rust of armor fades into a lover,
carrying away your distress;
I find my friend, healing my bedouin love,
fixed to the lines of poetry
that my song pours
washing over my oasis. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 288 [topic] => 2 [informant] => chuckx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Oh wow this is REALLY amazing!! Love this part "your promise told me where to find you in the deserts of falling in love with me". Simply wonderfully worded, it just kind of drew me in. I love it! I personally think this is just excellent!! Blessed be,
