Analysis of Desert Heart

By Rae Rae Arango

Without you here my heart feels so alone, 
lost and weary. Pain shoots through as 
though cactus needles were being darted 
through,piercing into my soul. 
My heart is thirsty and craves to be 
quenched by your pouring love which, 
at this time,seems only to be a mirage 
in the distance. 
Like the hot desert sands,forever 
wishing to be soothed by the rain, 
my heart burns with a nonperishable 
love for you---refusing to die. 
Until I reach the oasis of your 
heart and your arms,in which to rest, 
this desert heart of mine shall only 
thrive on the hope of your love, 
your rescue,---that shall be my 
happiness---my oasis.
