Dust

l came from a desert you've never heard of l am the source of the potters clay in the storm of the desert l wander in a desert that has no home then l rest upon the surface of the water and the sounds that leaks through your windows l can deflect back into space and then she calls your name across the desert and across a sea of sand dunes khol eyes of darkest nights, veils and wails she burns the reddest sunset l am the storm you've never heard of my mist of thirst is like a poison it's death stroke is the wind l'll circle back round from where l came from in the desert dust and fill your eyes till suffocate l am the storm ........................l am Simoom

Man may make his weapons, but mother nature is the true force on earth.

l had written this poem four days ago and each day was deliberating whether to post it. It has a chilling dark tone to it. l re- read each line over those 4 days and decided l didnt want to change anything. I did want to personify the simoom to try to 'capture' its power, l think l did manage it. Thank you for your comment. J.

This poem powerfully personifies Simoom, the desert storm, as a primal and inescapable force. It vividly paints a picture of its origin, destructive power, and ultimate return, creating a captivating and somewhat chilling embodiment of nature's raw might.
