Desert Rose

I stood alone all this while

Waiting for a mirage to cross my eye

But nothing ever came my way

My own existence felt like a lie

Only the heat kept me company

The sun glared on with all its might

In-spite of the warmth, I felt cold inside

Be it the morning, noon or night

What have I done to deserve this

Is this how my life will always be

Will I find my knight in shining armor

To my locked life who holds the key

Just when I had given up on love

I saw the first glimpse of you

I just prayed my mind was not playing tricks

When you came closer, I knew you were true

Looking at you, my faith was restored

I always knew that God had a plan

When you smiled down upon me

I realized that you were my perfect man

You brought me peace and hope

Hovering above me all the time

You were the perfect companion

I the words, you the rhyme

My life feels so bright now

You sprinkled love in the perfect dose

Finally after years of standing alone

On my parched earth then bloomed a rose

P.S: I had this crazy idea about associating the five elements of nature - fire, water, air, earth and sky to human emotions and love. And in the form of poetry. I already wrote about fire, water and air. This one is the fourth in the series, earth.
