In the Desert of Your Memory

In the desert of your memory I wander madly Searching for your footprints Seeking your solacing sight. I pass through some duping dunes Addressing you With thousands of endearing names. A mirage of your shadow appears That seems to come from nowhere. The fire of separation Burns my soul My heart sinks, My breath slips The thirst of Your caring love Is still on my lips. © Dr. Zainul Husain
