Oasis

I know love not
At least not in the
Candy coated amorous sense
The love I have known is fragmented
Across vast chasms of time
The love I have known
Has manifested sporadically
Oasis' in the desert
Providing respite and refreshment
For a moment
To prepare me
For the next length of journey ahead
But some days
I'm not content with
Just a sip of cool waters
I long for the whole reservoir, instead.
How nice it would be
To grow roots
In a place
But in truth I am Roma at heart
Could it be that my idea of paradise
Is with one who loves sand, sea and stars?
