Thirsty Valentine

He too lived in a desert
Where the heat of summer
Can get so intense it starts
To melt the soul
Forests turning into flames
Burning sand with a single lake
Who knew when I got here
Geography was fate
Climate an arranged marriage
Which could be why he
Only spoke of flowers once
In words that sound like
What you might say
To soothe a child
