I am the Desert Rose
I reside deep within this woman
Delicate and special I go unnoticed
Lies, disappointments and abuse
These are my sand, my sun , my drought
In the great expanse of the desert I am lost
Blind , they neither see me nor sense me
These petals now wilted and scattered
Scars which run deep within her
Waiting for one who will find me
Petals, once beautiful and full of splendor
Perfume , mystical , bewitching , unique
No pricking thorns, I the sublime bloom resonate
Sure of what she has to offer, of her worth
I wait patiently for the adventurous traveler
He, who will risk all he has to give
Who will finally discover the Rose of the Desert
Love, tenderness, understanding revive me
For they are my life , my source , my redeeming rain
They feed me , refresh me, fill me with life

Do you know who I am ?…………. I am her heart, I am her soul.
