Could you live in my desert? All I have is sand and sun It could be quite pleasant If you are the real one Cos, I need someone to love could that be you? If you need some water We can build an oasis my love will never falter Cos I love on this basis If our love should grow and blossom Turn my desert green We will walk in fields of passion living out our dream But it's down to you and me We'll go hand in hand and see what our future holds horizons will expand and our fortunes will be told I need someone to love could that be you?

This is a great poem Dave. Found the title very interesting. Well written ‘Turn my desert green/ we will walk in fields of passion living out our dream’ Very nice! Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Christina, this poem is actually a song lyric. It was inspired by the plight of someone I know who is desperate to find love. The desert idea is a metaphor for their life, empty and baron. They are searching for someone to share and grow with. It's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55BQyW_xhYs Thank you for your comment. Dave
