The Devil of the Deserts

Do you know me?
Do you awaken screaming my name?
Do the images of me linger
into your waking hours? 

I am the eternal dream
The unreachable goal
that which you sstrive for
But never achieve 

I am your desire
Your deepest wish
And greatest fear
I am your nightmare 

I whisper to you
Like the buzzing of insects
Secrets of the desert 

You tell me all your wishes
Your innermost dreams
And hope to see them 

I see your nightmares
Drink them in
And refine them 

I give you
Your nightmares back
And your screams never stop 

Somewhere in the desert
Your screams echo
Like the buzzing of insects 

Be now the djinn
While I roam in the world
In your skin 

Do you know me?
Do you awaken screaming my name?
Do the images of me linger
into your waking hours? 

I am desperation
The love lost
But always longed for
I am despair 

I am the dark
When all light is gone
And you are alone
I am your destiny 

I am life! 

I give you
Your nightmares back
And your screams never stop 

Somewhere in the desert
Your screams echo
Like the buzzing of insects 

Be now the djinn
While I roam in the world
In your skin
