Queen

Queen of the Desert

Across great landscapes we ride

towards a city lost in time

Through winds of torment

and seas of sand

You are still by my side

The scorching sun disciplines me

But by the camels hump 

I carry on 

And I will not subside

In our wake there lies

Treacherous lands

And cruel men

But for you, I will never rend

Mysterious woman 

You were once mine

Like a mirage

A figment lost to my dreams

My tired mind never forgot

And my pen

Ascribed your love into my heart

For time took you from me

But your spirit was never gone

For now we ride together

Through blistering heat

I see you now

Smiling back at me

Only the desert can contest

The fire that burns within my chest

And the deathly cold

I feel on these lonely nights

But I will never lose sight

Of the long lost city

For I know you await me there

My long, lost

Desert Queen
