Love's Sirocco Winds
love once parched
gasps as sanctuaries die
a thirst endures unquenched
to perish in the wink of an eye
fervor spawned unyielding winds
abrasive to blinded eyes
an oasis yields today
prey to burning lies
facing west the sun in repose
stillness quietly masks
veiling deceit
hot sirocco winds
have taken love replete
wisps of air spin hurricanes
spawn driving hammering rains
contagion spreads
callous winds
erode less solid ground
