Red Ground

In January 2014, draft

As hot wind brushes my hair
So does the tears of sweat pour down my skin.
At every step I feel how hot air raises from the ground
And every breath does burn my lungs.

As temperature is rising over 40
So does memory of you burn my heart.
At every step I feel you are watching over me
And you wouldn't even know where I am.

As the north wind is coming with a hint of smoke
So does my dreams bring you to me.
At night in my dreams it might be the only time
I ever spend with you.

As the north wind does burn your lips
So does my fragile tears turn to a eternal rain.
At every breath I wish it washes away my pain
And memories of yesterday.

To love or not to love,
Unable to tell.

My heart will burn till the last day
As the red ground does burn your feet
So does the earth, wind and sun prove my love to you
Until eternity.
