Dunes of Broken Heart
A full moon you blush in the condensed sky
Riding the lone cloud I tried to reach you
Furtive desire couldn’t grow wings to fly
Silver lines formed from your nonchalant hue.
You crossed the humble sky that I call mine
A turquoise trail you made in me you knew
I could discern my love glow in your shine
How to preserve the gleam I had no clue.
The departing night called the black clouds in
Gloom of shade spread on ascetic desert
The moon through the dust storm it hadn’t seen
Ripples formed on parched dunes of broken heart.
Clouds melted, your shallow lake filled my tears
I tried to find my drowned love lost for years.
