My Kryptonite

Trudging scorched in the wilderness of desiccated life in the shifting maze of your deceptive shadow I wander, enticed, I’m seduced by your flashing face on the mirage, my broken heart is scattered as debris in your swathe. I don’t know where I should be going to get belonged, but try to sense the lure of oasis in your eluding love. I crumble into drifting dust in the desolate wasteland, and blow away to obscure horizon in the desert storm. From the tree of yearning that grew in despondency, I’m now dislodged and meander as a withered leaf, rustle with the tormenting tune of melancholic music, on its journey of despair to the realm of isolation void. Under the sweltering sun burning the façade of desire, as I lumber worn out across the dunes of deprivation with shifting sands of time designing myriad of illusion, in the fiery flicker of your eyes I see my kryptonite.
