I was awakened
by a kookaburra’s screams
a crackling bushfire…  
this parched yet amazing land
is forever in my dreams

gray clouds swell overhead-
pouring tears of great relief…
drenching parched cactus.

Desert Well

In the parched desert
Bedu nomads search the night
For the buried well
In the desert of the mind
A healing fountain will flow

Evening

The heat of a gruelling day
Dissolves into dusk
Sifts yellows and gold 
From the parched brown earth
Into the colours of the sea

Weeping


Tears falling from Angels eyes 
gathering in spreading pools 
over the sterile parched earth
grief for beauty lost

this summer morn-

azalea perfume hints

yellows the lawn


patches parched brown
edge across the lawn-
then thunder storms

Final Moments

Curled up leaf,
as dry as a bone
From green to yellow
Drowning from water, to
parched with thirst
From new, to old
From smooth to rust

The Watcher

Languid eyes surf the horizon     

Bites hot the suntanned light

Drowning the parched azure ocean

Beyond the withered shore

Held In a Hand

Man with a magic.
Glowering,evil-looking.
Some magic within.

Days and nights practiced.
Sometimes hungry, thirsty, parched.
Never giving up.

Premium Member Miserable Hot Summer

Sad unmoving air
Humidity wilts flowers
Animals search for water
Sauna-like setting
Barren ground is parched, dry, cracked
Miserable hot summer

That Intimate Hand

That intimate hand 
that shakes 
the rose petals 
in the breeze, 
would rather 
touch his lips, 
Parched 
from being 
in the sun 
too long.

Haiku

Yucca of white bells

protected by swords of green

enjoying parched land

Premium Member Haiku Couple On Lips

My lips were moist then
On lips trembling you felt me
Slither feeling you.

My lips are parched now
On your lips burning I feel
Me turn to ashes.

Dark Rain

Earth with parched lips
Elixir falls from heaven
Nature's beauty in bloom

Banks pregnant in awe
Accepts the furious dark raindrops
Havoc unfolded

My Pain

My pain runs deep,
Deep into the parched land, 
A land where night dares not fall,
And kiss its soiled bosom.
Yet this pain I feel is what makes me,
Me.

My Love

My Love
Quench this dry thirst that I have for you,
Pour your love down my parched throat,
Add a bit of your sweet nectar
To add a smile to my lips as we part.
