I still feel
your burning breath
begging me
to surrender,
directing our passion,
hypnotized by the touch
of those strong
manly hands
over my skin,
both becoming alive
under shadows
of silver nights
under olive trees.

Now
I scream your name
to an earth
that won't answer,
all voices of reason
are silent.

A war of sand
took you
far away
to fill ditches
of devastation
and death.

My arms, my soul
forever empty,
shared dreams
we yearn together,
died with you
my love,

far away
in a war of sand.
