well detrimental with retarded thought
life has no detail
but to copy nature like drought.

Sink or swim
Sually; summoned snakes shake
The seen shark under the sea
Same wet that dry the floods to cover the droughts.

I never wanted it to happen,
I allowed loves seed to sow,
So here we're in the garden,
But there's a drought to stop the growth.

So are bread and butter
It’s been one pestilence of drought
Which causes wizened grass to flutter.

Out of the drought
None the worse
And none defiled
Out of the heart
With body parts
Come acts perverse
And all that's vile

Premium Member Lament For Summer

The summer solstice
in years past so much welcomed...
now there's foreboding:
soaring temps, wildfires, drought...
idyllic days are numbered.

Clean

When the storm is out
And the rain has stopped 
Deluging my drought,
I find my weights dropped
I have been clean washed.

Premium Member Drop In the Heat of the Moment

it was just a speck of dust

in her eyes

that made her visualize 

a desert of drought

which required

her tears

Seasons Drought

A hold
Unknown
Seasons trials
Walking the miles
Been a while.

Waiting periods
Test of Faith
Jesus is present
With his Mercy and Grace.

In Doubts

Awake with doubt
no food to eat
tasty with drought
no place to sit

naked i rise
rooming around my body
are seasonal flies
cursing at nobody

we raindanced across the lawn

           Deeply rooted in water
           Sunken by full drought

Wild Tropical Dry Flower

The tropical flower,
     drought wild flower
     fruit of the miracle 
     of the encounter,
     between the hot dust
     and the sparse rain... !

Wake Up My Heart

Wake the embers that smolder inside
Up above the coldness of my doubt
My burning desire will serve as guide 
Heart aflame with passion ends loves drought
