Patie, My Bestie

An apple in this world of unripe lemons-

distinct and all that a man could desire.

Showers of rain in the Kalahari desert;

an oasis in the Sahara sands:

Utmost definition of sweetness-

equivalent to no soul in value.

An apple in an empty basket:

Alone in my heart.



As the clock ticks by, clouds drifting away,

insane I go, craving for more of you!

The world has nothing to offer, it is void of passion: even dry of love,

Save for this my sweet stream of cold waters –straight from the ocean of your heart! ...
