Dunes shift as clouds of sand skip through the air

Across this vast arid desert you’re a welcoming oasis

Your water beckons me to imbibe

And quench my insatiable thirst

Drinking you in to the point of inebriation

Planting my stake in this barren region

To tame your wilderness

Worn down fighting a vortex

Overheated with hungry desire

As we succumb to corporeal pleasures

Even the pharaohs are envious

The Sphinx a watchful voyeur

Two sets of footprints in the sand

No longer desolate or alone
