Desert Dreams

Calm and soundless  
         escapes of 
           beautiful sceneries   
                                      dormant, 
                 as the Pharaoh's daughter 
BY early morning dawn !
 
Cool starlit darkness, 
               landscapes of subtle colors, 
                                         mulched in softest light ...
The sky slowly transitions
                    from deep blue to hues of pink, 
                                               orange  *
                                                        gold * 
As the air crisp and cool carries the scent of dry earth 
                          to your nostrils, one grain of sand at a time 
                                  Hints of blooming desert 
like flowers falling on you,
               after a long awaited rainfall (inhale) it 
  
                                                 Evening arrives, 
the dreamer, 
                                 lost in a desert dream 
arrives at dusk's door. 
 
Looping colors of terracotta and rustic brown 

                            Closer to the Nile the heart is seen, 
                   seeking and searching,  
For Sacred Rivers that flow

Inside the dreamers mind, 
                          the soft winds blow, 
just before they settle in, 
                    setting the world on fire with, 
 
                      AFTERGLOW !!!

Joe Dimino Date: 8/6/2025 3:45:00 PM Valentino! The kids today are too young to know such old romantic features. Why I enjoy living so close to the desert, just a skip and throw from my diggings. 116 today in Phoenix. Beautiful, enchanting writing as usual...from one who has obviously had a past life in ancient Egypt.

Login to Reply Mystic Rose Rose Date: 8/6/2025 11:54:00 AM Serenity of soul and spirit is what we all strive to achieve Jay, if the poems speaks to you that way then I accomplished my goal as a writer of fantasy. Thanks for reading. :)
