Desert Rose (Spoken)

The speaker dreams of rain and gardens in the desert sand, but wakes in vain. They dream of love slipping away, like time through their hands. They also dream of fire and two hearts that will never die. The desert rose symbolizes a secret promise and a sweet perfume that tortures them. The speaker realizes that nothing is as it seems and that their dreams are not logical. They long for rain and gaze at empty skies, finding intoxication in the rare perfume of love. The desert rose represents hidden hearts and souls. I dream of rain. I dream of gardens in the desert sand. I wake in vain. I dream of love as time runs through my hands. I dream of fire, these dreams that tie two hearts that will never die. Near the flames, the shadows play in the shape of the man's desire. This desert rose, whose shadows bear the secret promise. This desert flower. No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this. And now she turns. This way she moves the logic of all of my dreams. This fire burns. I realise that nothing's as it seems. I dream of rain. I dream of gardens in the desert sand. I wake in vain. I dream of love as time runs through my hands. I dream of rain. I lift my gaze to empty skies above. I close my eyes. The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love. I dream of rain. I dream of gardens in the desert sand. I wake in vain. I dream of love as time runs through my hands. Sweet desert rose, whose shadow bears the secret promise. This desert flower. No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this. Sweet desert rose. This memory of hidden hearts and souls. This desert flower. This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love.
