Love's Desert

Love’s Desert You left me there, alone, empty, baked in the seething heat of hate. Dried petals screaming: “I love you not!” blowing across a soundless nothingness, faint echoes of a whimpering heartbeat fading in the shifting dunes, crushed beneath the beauty of love’s barrenness. Alone, under the lifeless light of desert moon I weep, my future a wavering mirage. John G. Lawless In The Desert – nette onclaud 9/14/2014

wow, I love how you used the barrenness of a desert as the backdrop for this ill fated love. WELL DONE.

This is very good... Free verse has to be very good like this for me to take notice being that I primarily write in rhyme. This is one fine write and I wish you great luck in the contest!!
