Your Desert

Sometimes I find myself in your desert,

wandering aimlessly

under the heat of your sun.

All the strength I have left

I use to intensely search

through the endless dunes of sand

for just a mere drop of your water.

I am desperate, so much that one drop

can make me feel whole again

and give me a false sense of hope.

Amidst this drought, I think to myself

If I pour out the water in my soul

into your desert,

then will you give me drink?

To The One Who Loves Him Next

To one who loves him next,

oh how the stars have blessed you

to be able to bask in the light

of one of their own.

Unbeknownst to you,

my heart forever pins here,

on the dark side of the moon,

for the solace of your star.

To the one who loves him next,

please do what I can not.

Hold on tight to him

as if he was the childhood toy

you never wanted mom to wash,

because he is.

Take in his words,

as if they are the medicine

for any illnesses on your soul,

because they are.

Gaze into his eyes,

as if they possess the celestial beauty

of our entire cosmos,

because they do.

To the one who loves him next,

consume his apricity to the fullest,

be loved by him and love him

until the end of time.

But just once in an eclipse,

please let me consume his thoughts,

so at least the memory of me will last

as I perfect my xenization.

You, with the blessing of the stars,

keep close the light of my universe.

You owe me this.

Sincerely,

The one who loved him the most
