These Arms Long To Hold You

As I walk the barren desert With a small flower in my hand Leaving my footprints in the sand Swiping them, to erase the hurt I think of your smile miles away Soft kisses shared in the cool shade All of our headway we have made There is so much I have to say But, under desert skies so blue With heart shaped clouds floating by One teardrop falls from my eye Because, these arms long to hold you 9/25/19 Placed 4th in the Pick a title, Vol. 9. Enclosed Rhyme. Title #2 These Arms Long to Hold You
