A Desert Storm
I wander on that restless plain,
Somewhere between ecstasy and pain
Where the common world cannot touch,
The piece of my soul that I’ve missed so much.
Our bodies were dancing in the dark,
Like two long lost loves, who’ve been apart,
Somehow reunited on this desert plain
Somewhere between pleasure and pain.
The attachment I feel has paralyzed me.
It’s a white hot ball of intensity
It’s a puffy cloud in the desert sky
It’s a crashing tidal wave of desire.
That long ago and far away
Connection that we touched that day.
My life has been changed forever
I’ll never forget that 12th of September...
Our timeless love astonishes me so
The strength of it shows me it’s centuries old.
It’s something that carries an infinite price
Like trying to buy a ray of sunlight.It came on like a crack of thunder....
It’s a brilliant bolt of lightning I am standing under.
Rolling like a desert storm.
It possesses a mysterious, dangerous charm
It gives me a lump in my throat, I can’t swallow
It’s something I want to savor so slow
It’s evident it’s not an everyday, ordinary love
It’s the kind everyone’s been dreamin’ of
We got lucky and found it
Now there’s no way around it
and no way to ground it
So let’s grab on and hold it tight in our hearts...
