In desert's grasp, where heatwaves gently play, I seek a love that shimmers far away. An oasis mirage, a tender guise, Where dreams entwine with fervent sighs. Beneath the azure sky, where sunbeams dance, I glimpse her form, a fleeting, sweet romance. Mirage of lover in the oasis fair, A wondrous illusion, beyond compare. Upon the sands, where yearning heartstrings strum, I follow shadows, where the mirage may come. Her image shimmers in the hazy air, A vision painted with love's tender care. Yet, as I reach, she fades in heat's embrace, A mirage of love, a transient grace. In desert's oasis, love's dream unfurls, A mirage, a dance, of ephemeral pearls.

So lovely a sonnet, dressed in romance and longing ! Love is an oasis in a desert, but often it is like a mirage,. The moment we feel that it is within our grasp, it eludes our hold ! All the Best !

this is a 'delicious' Sonnet, Jay! Your rhymes are perfect as are the images you create. I especially liked 'a mirage of love, a transient grace.' Those words were as graceful as the dance you mentioned in the last line. Outstanding! Have a great evening, Sara
