without you

Who am I, without you
maybe just a wanderer
traveler who is searching
for its own soul's bearer
like a thirsty bird in desert
looking for that little oasis
one who has wings to fly
but own hurdles it faces


Roaming aimlessly in place
that had slightest resemblance
to you and your lovely face,
or had your fragrance, essence
I long for the shade of yours
for me to be hidden behind
from the glare of this world
in a heart, loving and kind


Yet, love, you just deny
 you posses my little soul
and tell me again and again
to focus on my life's goal
How do I find another goal
when purpose is known
and yet life eludes it always
heart bleeds, pierced, torn


I traveled and searched globe

to find your resemblance
but no one ever had a heart
just a long void, your absence
Love, I continue to seek you
and yet you remain elusive
holding my soul and denying
labeling my craving allusive
