Love In The Wasteland


Like a diamond, he is

Bright and beautiful,

Difficult to get’

Easy to love.

Like a star, he is

High above and out of reach,

Out of touch.

Like a sun,

Shining bright with a

Shining glory.

All he wanted was

To shine more,

With love.

His brilliant brain,

Thinks better with time,

Wants better with time.

Now I was with him,

Meeting after months,

Tears rolling down my cheeks.

But the I realized the

Rage of blood across my body,

That was something clueless

for me to define.

We walked and walked,

Direction-less.

He held my hand and

Kissed my forehead.

He smiled at me and

Held me tight.

His body was warm,

we were in love that night.

I was lost

In his eternal love,

And just wished

It could be true soon.
