Desert Place

Desert Place

Oh!
I thirst!
I can not
Even form spit!
The sun is a flame
On my skin of leather!
Hunger burns within me!
My bones are dried up
And bear no joy...
No water...
I thirst...
Oh...

A very beautiful written poem, tou ve explained your situation really beautifully and I guess that you either became active on ps after a long while or you was never online when I was because I believe that I m seeing you online for second time in my last six months of ps
