My heart is an oasis
among your parched deserts
to quench your never ending thirst
and sooth your scalding soul,
beneath the expanse of your burning skies
there will always be a hidden sanctuary
to ease your suffering.
I had meant to make this longer, but it felt like it was pushing the metaphor too far and becoming redundant and over done when I tried to add on another stanza.

Though I really like the concept of this one, I am not sure if it really feels complete, I may yet write a longer version if I can find just the right way to do so.

I think I agree about it not feeling quite complete. I'd like to offer you some advice on how to continue it, but the only thing I could think of would be to think about how the dessert dwellers use oasis to plan their trips, use it as a refuge and then leave it behind again. But I think you already kinda touched that.

This is still incredible. I can't believe how much you can relate to another words. :) Thank you for sharing with us.
