Desert Sands Poem by David Andre' Klopper

My heart bleeds through my tears,
A river meanders through the desert sands,
From pain life springs forth,
An Oasis appears from the barren land,

Where will you be in my time?
Will you care, will you dare?
Will you see the Dove, will you give your love?
Will you be mine?

For 40 days I have waited in the sun,
Lips parched, my heart drained,
I see the light, my mind is bright,
My head is spinning, my eyes are dimming,
One word, one glance is all I need,
Your smallest gesture removes the doubt and brings the drought,

I wait, but will you be too late?
There can be no fire if you're a liar,
The Universe is patient, time is lost,
Will you join with me now?
I will not abandon you but I am ready,
I will wait for you, I'll even come back for you,
Will you do for me to?
