Sandstorm

You came  into my life
My Tuareg of the desert
Brought to me by the winds of fate
To fill the emptiness within

Nature played her part, bringing us together
Raising a sandstorm shielding us from others eyes

Just as the wind causes the sand to vibrate
So my body mirrors this feeling
When you touch my skin, to kiss me with longing
This dervish of emptiness begone.

Leaving grains of sand of desire 
the priceless pearl of hope.
