The sun beats effortlessly on my brow
Beads of sweat roll down as tears
My soul is dry, lonely, longing, thirsting
The hours tick by slowly
An endless desert road
Through the sandstorms I am blinded
I reach for your hand
I can't find it
I call out your name
There is no reply
How long must I wander alone through this wasteland?
When will I find the oasis of your company?
My ears hunger to hear your voice
My mouth thirsts to reply
My legs crumble like dust beneath me
My body weak from lack of nourishment
I feel I cannot go on alone
But my heart beats steadily
Driving me onward, forward
I will find you
We shall eat and drink together once again

Hey! i love this cry in the desert
I mean, i don't want you to be sad
but it is a sweet lament in the storm

"How long must I wander alone through this wasteland?
When will I find the oasis of your company?"

Beautiful sentiments and so full of imagery Lupigirl! This was just lovely!  

I love SweetPoet17's suggestions for titles, any of these would compliment this poem beautifully.

Best wishes,
/Kit

great poem its really beautiful.
sometimes poems dont need a title they speak for themselves, I think this is one of those kinds of poems.
good luck with your other poems

I really, really love this! It's great! Whenever I can't think of a title, I just use a word I used several times in the poem. Like, I might call this one 'thirsty' or something like that. Be cool.

This was lovely. How about Oasis? It seems to fit well with the theme. I really injoyed the piece.  




When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats

In Search of Nourishment?
When will I no Longer be Without?
Missing You?

Nice poem.
