i feel the sand four thousand feet below
reach up to me and i cannot resist
its even evening heat. the twilight glow
gives texture where the day obliterates.
the sunset turns the sky to dirty gold,
the city's lights are dim through desert mist
as darkness takes its temporary hold.
the night with all its mystery awaits.
i know you're down there somewhere, unaware
and maybe, probably, without a care
that i am sitting here thinking of us
and what we could achieve with mutual trust
and courage to reach out, to take the dare.
i warn you, this is so much more than lust.
