the desert lizard

scuttling across the valley,

the trench was deep and steep

 

scorching heat of the dry sun,

dried blemishes on the weathered skin.

 

Settling along the rocky facades,

hackneyed by the haunting past.

 

Sleepless nights of the perching predators,

Hibernating in aloof worlds .

 

Stymied by the wind in the barren land ,

Harnessed by the futile fears.

 

Simone Melchoir of the sinking ship ,

would not you go down with the fault.

 

Shunning away from natures affection ,

for every rose does share its thorn .

 

Sunny ends are reached ,

when the raging ravines fade away.

 

Slithering away the swirling serpent ,

The sun lurks in the brewing storm .

 

Sanctity of the witheld winds ,

sapping away the deathly darkness.

 

Serene air of the seraphic angel,

brought the plighting dreams to the refugees repose

 

Smelting ores and melting poles,

brimming with brightness the cradled cirque .

 

Summons of the exalted virtue ,

To burn the lizard and fly away like the phoenix

 

Succumbing to the wilderness,

to soaring heights and rising spirits .

 

Swanking in the soothing winds,

the phoenix looked down on the plundering valley.

 

Scorning at the downtrodden spirits,

The fraternity of the Desert lizard
