Born in adversity!!

full filled limbs,

liquefied desert
of a water world

Bird by the lake,
looking over
at a duck
whose egg

Your SMILE ...

Is like a raindrop
In the desert ...

It's all I long for,
Yet it leaves me thirsty ...

For so much MORE.

Rain in the desert
                              Saguaro's ancient arms lift

Nights Out

Darkness surrounds dusk
Clown beetles saunter about
Sought by desert rats
Moths gather at lit porches
As the black widow gorges

Desert thorns that sting.
Careful desert animals. 
Both have great instinct,
Finding safety together.
Not permanent for either.

Oasis
A rose blooms silent
In the middle of desert,
Oasis of life.

A thought blooms silent
In the middle of my head,
Oasis of life.

Good man dragged though the streets
not expecting such an inauspiscous end
Islam lovely Islam giving such treets

Identity

Space
the Grand Sultan,
 its winds

Desert Wraith

She envied his strength
In a heart shredding sandstorm
He envied her pain,
A fellow chaser of dreams
Turned into a desert wraith

Memories

A barren desert
Underneath the scorching sun
Like the memories
Those of my dear cherished one
Emptied as the time spins it’s hand
