The Golden Deer

THE GOLDEN DEER

The allured mind roaming in the blazing desert
Simmers in the pores of the swirling sands
The moist vestige of sane sense evaporates
The grains of desire leap to turn into mirage
Shimmering in metallic tinge of the sinking sun
Runs away from the myopic vision blurred
Like the golden deer disappearing in elusive oasis
Unreached beyond the trail unending.

I love your evocative title and the brilliant and meaningful imagery in your emotional introspection of chasing after the unattainable and the unreachable. Spectacular poetry, metaphorically beautiful, Subimal. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
