About This Poem
Desert
silence snares
mystery entices
sunshine seduces
emptiness embraces
desert dry sweet breaths
whisper crystal spring hope
to gnarled, wounded souls
thirsting for salvation.
With outstretched expectations
the muse rushes to intimacy,
shouting stirring soliloquy
and singing sonnet sublime.
Momentary blossoms
burst forth exclamations
- eagle screams -
chorused by coyotes speaking in tongues.
Naked night skies
blush galaxies brilliant
exposing distant lies -
affairs beyond the present tense.
But passion softens,
peace washes surrender
and signals the bittersweet end
of an empty reality.
Purloined promises proffer riches,
redemption, revival;
disappointment shifts on endless dunes,
scorn mars forsaken innocence.
Walk-away shards of yesterday
litter bones across time -
memories who once believed
the shimmering mirage of death, taunting.
