I gaze at the expanse ahead

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous stars
and that silver solitary moon
searching for that face of yours
that embezzled my little heart
only to be disappointed with
dark sky of this moonlit night

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous boats
and ships with masts and sails
searching for that little anchor
of your two shoulders to rest
my tired head against them
sleep in shade of your locks

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous dunes
and those little green oasis
in search of your lovely adobe
only to find myself wandering
in this never-ending sand
slipping from my hand like time

I gaze at the expanse ahead
on the green grass and meadows
and those bright colored orchids
passing through numerous rows
searching for your colors in them
to hold those colors close to me
and color myself in your colors
