A/N: This is the sequel to my first one shot, "The Sandman's Mirage". I wrote it a long time ago and recently found it on a piece of paper... I transfered it to Microsoft word. I hope its to your liking. (:
After the Mirage
The hot sand between my toes
Feels like nothing compared to
The beating sun upon my unprotected back
A few miles to walk on bare feet alone
Feels like nothing compared to
The thought of being distanced from you,
Such as I am
My body is tan, my beaded sweat pouring
Like deluge after flood gates of Wave
Swallowing me whole and whisking me away
To a place even farther from my goal; you
Hermes's winged sandals aid me in my pursuit
And a kind desert fox going in the same direction
Beat faster heart, guide me to him, and point me to his exact location
With the shifting sand beneath my feet, my heart is roaring
I've discovered that mirages only leave me grieving
And casts me in a desolate existence that is not of you
Driven mad by hallucinations I find myself believing
How will I know when it is really you?
Dear Sandman, my tears of anguish mix with my agonized sweat
Drip, drip, dripping lightly on my heated flesh
And how the desert laughs at me when I fall for its quips!
Yet I have a salty taste of determination upon my dry, crackled lips
My tongue's healing salve no longer has affect upon what is blistered
Was it you that saved me from the desert's evil coiling twister?
Sandman, my mind is a fragile thing but my spirit is not feeble
It stands strong against the sand in protest, coming to my defense
My heart's concrete will outlives what my body's strength and endurance gives
Oh but give me a word or two and my heart would stop its persistent beat for you
Or perhaps your word would silence me on the subject forevermore?
If only, if only you'd give me some sort of word and torture me no more
Where are you, dear Sandman?
Do I journey in vain?
No, no, no, there is a purpose for my calling
For when I reach that calling
Embrace me so, Sandman
And don't let me give way
A/N: I hope you guys liked this sequel. Review and tell me if you liked it or if you'd like to see more done with this. (:
ARIGATO!
