Oasis

We are the same

 you and I

wandering this

 desert

 alone

oh, you think 

you are an oasis

lush and green 

and inviting

but it is all

an illusion

a facade

you are really

 just alone

wandering

 in this heat

wind blowing sand in your eyes

that can no longer 

form tears

the two of us

 alone

in this same 

vast

 wasteland

never to meet

but if we did

what a beautiful sight

we could make.

i love this, i can really relate. i love reading poems that make me feel the authors heart in each line and i felt that with this

The poem has a huge depth. For me some how I felt oasis and deserts are symbolic to our joy and loneliness.May be its just me :) .
I would like to point this out.

"dessert" I initially thought you meant desert. Then after reading Angel I re-read this as you are great with words I thought may be you meant dessert and I missed the meaning.How ever,this poem I think desert is correct and dessert is a typing mistake. Please take a call on this.
