Best Desertion Poems

Barren fields of mind-expanding,
within eyes dusty…
Forever dreaming oasis,
with winds howling cold.

Ringing sounds of silence,
tiresome travelling step by step…
Deceiving thirst occupied by illusions,
of fermenting thoughts standing still.

Demanding deserts daunting,

of lost souls sacrificed.

Silhouettes of sands blowing,
forgotten images thru endless time…
Storms of...

I can taste
Words you haven't yet spoken,
Violent betrayals preordained
To ooze over my blistered throat.
Broken promises,
Pinkies entwined

Shivering in hunger
Deserted as a graveyard
In bloodcurdling desolation
She...

To hold you again is my greatest desire,
To see in your eyes that which attracted me
The first time.

Al my dreams are wrapped up in your life.
All my hopes are waiting for you to realize
I love you.

I can’t concentrate because you’re on my mind
I can’t relate...

There once was a fellow lived in Pakistan
Who married a woman from Afghanistan
She refused the veil
He said "what the hell?"
And went off to join up with the Taliban.

So she thought she chose the man of her heart
But he walk away old did he part
Walls of dessertion
This man left his wife
Packed up and walked away started a new life
He was into her yet not into her he was a liar and a thief
Mentally...

Owusu Ansah!
