Oasis

The heart asked me

In this longingness of pain

To create an oasis of 'being home'.

Thirst choked with intoxicating breathlessness.

The mind asked me,

To surrender to this blank;

Taking nowhere shape and creating an oasis

Of forever death but living as a ghostly woman.

Tied between the two,

Creating the rift in two polar worlds

This oasis now hypnotized me to come

To another present (past) town,

Where known eyes stood to see me

In their lively glory.

As I, an oasis,

Within the desert,

Heat burnt me.

But I stood there,

Unwillingly willing

To desert I,

Though live unhappily happy,

Each as their own.

I am an oasis now.

Yes, I am an oasis now.
