The Heart Of A Desert Woman Poem by mhawi rosero

looking around, wonder shines
in her eyes, excitement chimes
over the sand where water reigns
free as wind, love governs

time drifts by as second counts
miles after miles, distance accounts
what is left is a heart who believes
by how far and how long, it wouldn't be deceived

the last leaf drops but she clings on
the color fades, things have grown
everything changes but her love stays
she still believes on what he said

what a fool she might have been
for others might think she waits in vain
but in her heart where ardent love blazes
she knows he will return, he will come home as promised

she loves him so she let him go
she let him dream, never stops him from doing so
she sets him free and loves him at a distance
she is a desert woman who never keeps her man
