THE OASIS

On that line of vision

Deep rain clouds are emotive

To lash the green terrain

Heart desires to love

You, as a dried

Earth wants to fill the

Millions cavities, I would be

There to absorb all

The thunderous wet emotion

At least you try to

Outburst as a monsoon rain

I’m leafless tree only

Look toward the

Brownish sky, to get a breath

You please attempt to be

A cool wind, let my

Dream to be alive, my life

Wants to include you

As hidden flow, beneath the

Hills go through

On the tempting vast chest

Your signature s space

Is blank since origin

Of planet, you write poetry

With flaming lips, I’m

Waiting for striking autograph

On the heart, soul

Your eyes have several oases

I’m exhausted traveler

Let me relax for a moment

In shadow of your eyelashes

Give me a place in your heart
