Mirage

MIRAGE My heart, Believing in the reality of your love, Followed you into passions’ burning Desert, In search of the promised oasis of our Dreams Where happiness, you said, so easily could Blossom BUT A mirage your love turned out to be Thus Under the sizzling sun of disillusion was I left, Sacred oaths taking, Not to listen anymore To heart’s fraudulent Whispers! © Demetrios Trifiatis 24 MAY 2013

Demetrios, this is a stunning write - bursting with feeling! I can relate to this one very well. The desert is such a clever metaphor for this kind of deceit!
