Desert Blooms

Cluttered herself with salt; Rather obscuring herself, she settled downwards; The sandy surface has made her vulnerable; Clasping the inner core tightly, she reluctantly raised her fallen guards; The heart silently percolated to its bedrock; She was afraid of sedimentation. Suddenly the cracks paved the way to her weathered soul; For her it was love at first sight! Beginning of a pure, beautiful love affair; She was mesmerized by those sparkling eyes! She inched closer with the ever increasing sound of her pounding heartbeat; Nothing! Nothing! Betrayal! Fluttering her sand-dunned eyelashes; The mirage was in its full glory; She retracted in her footsteps, recoiled her flattered heart; She was deserted again with her guards steeper than before.
