Desert Sunset

Dunes
                       Unfurl
                 Fettered minds
              In gold teased hues
         Shadows writhe and quake
        As the sun rusts and wanes    
        Dusty waltz at dusk’s invite
 On curves caressed by zephyred breath
 Silhouettes of dreams on shifting sands
