I touch my lips in wonder--
whatever can I say to you?
In the absence of your presence
a lack of air shows blood true blue.

Touch my thigh in sheer delight
legs in cross of of lace-up boot...
I have to look away from eyes--
so much of you I see in you.

Constant licking
of my lips
constant camel
searching sip--
oasis in this arid land--
oases of eyes understand...

I have beheld your scent before-
many times--I still want more...
I wish for olive grove of sup--
I wish that I could wish enough.

I wish for dances in the sand.
I wish for trek of caravan,
and silken tents to be our home
and starlight sprinkles in the dome
just as the sky bends down to me
Just as the salt adds taste to sea
even as the wind kicks dust
turbulent unbridled lust
to drink as much as I can stand
and face again the trek of sand.

Do you know how cool this poem is...
what a clever working of metaphor and theme,
as well as imagery....
Who knew there was rhyme water in the dessert???  
very very cool write me twin...
me

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you
