Desert of Dreams

desperation in a desert of dreams my happy hopes all turn obscene full of fear and full of frustration i can't change the channel i can't switch the station locked tight into this frenzied frequency i'm walking alone in a desert of dreams domination in a desert of dreams the cactus grow needles that spew junkie screams like invisible streams that all disappear the chaos is clear...hidden oasis still not seen i'm walking alone in a desert of dreams dehydration in a desert of dreams my spirit and soul evaporating life blood is boiling under sun's radiation those vipers and vultures don't need invitations i can hear them creep closer like fire,flesh,and fiends i'm walking alone in a desert of dreams deception in a desert of dreams white clouds turn black...smiling faces to sadistic frowns no lunacy limits in this lost and never found in a dust devil storm i'm called up above as i'm cast to the breeze things are not what they seem still walking alone in a desert of dreams

We are having our first laying snowfall this morning in Springfield,Ohio. December 1,2010 what a way to enter this month. It is absolutely beautiful and finds me in good spirits. I have enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Anthony as usual. Looking forward to reading more. Have a wonderful day. Love, Carol
