An old concept of mine, but a new poem done in free verse.

I roll and roll, beneath a blood-red sky. How I burn with desire for you. I am the sands of the Sahara in search of sweet relief as every particle of my body fills with white heat. Passion-parched, I turn toward you - drifting to the brink – a dune of madness. The cool blue of you that I seek appears as if a mirage. I am Sahara, and my love is vast. Let me quench myself in you. May 1, 2018 for John Hamilton's Best Free Verse April 1, 2018 To July 15,2018 Poetry Contest

Hi Andrea, everytime I think of you I feel so guilty because of my absence on Soup. Im inundated with work see. But my heart is here. Your poem is a scorcher here. The desert is my magnet and it drew me to you. Congrats. Passion off the page. Grrrr
