DESERT FIRE

Into wind, I turn a blistered face

Life draining, at a fierce pace

Is their any, saving grace

Please, remove me, from this place

Soon, my existence will leave no trace

Hopes dreams whishes life, erase

 

Absence of cool, calm and collect

Heat, the nurturer of life and respect

Now, the taker of my life, perfect

Dry, lifeless sand

Emotionless, killer land

There, I had to stand

 

An ocean of fire, in all its flare

Heat waves rolling, without a care

Drowning, desert sands so bare

Exciting, enraging, stimulating fever

All this excitement, in my stare

 

Fire lit, to warm the hart

Warm comfort, ease for start

Fire started, with desert chart

 

Life without love is like a barren desert but once the spark is lit love is like a raging fire.
