For You

For you,
I have walked barefoot
in the scorching sands
of a vast desert.

For you,
I have searched
in musty air
of ancient tombs;
my torch uncovers
insects breeding in the dark,
but where are you,
my brightest gem?

For you,
I have crossed
rivers full of piranhas,
their teeth chomping
upon the sight of a man.

For you,
I have surfed on crowds
looking for your face
amongst a sea of aliens.

For you,
I sank my heart
in a bucket of truth
that solidifies like cement.

For you,
I gave my last breath;
we shall meet again
in another life.
