Collaboration...Dee and Deborah Brooks
*I was the scorched wasteland,
you the ravishing stream
my life, sparse
while yours teemed
my lips parched
while yours gleamed,
one drop water was all
that I had sought,
alas! That was too much
for you to part with…
I live on
as the deserted desert.*
**You were scorched in my being
Sent my ravishing stream to drink
Kissed your lips that were parched
My love made you shimmer and gleam.
My tears real, splattered as raindrops
Your lonely hand reaching out
When the day we bid goodbye
In the deserted desert
Alone by ourselves…**

The fine collaboration by Debbie Brooks was
in response to my poem 'Drought'
Truly thankful to you
