Desert

Pure oasis in the desert's heat
                        shimmering pools of possibility
                        How woefully and thoughtfully you deceive
                        guided by hidden reciprocity
                        Your breeze betrays my patient stride
                        luring me to linger in confusion
                        Onward you follow; distrust married with pride
                        and seek waterfalls tainted by illusions
                        Trickling down foundation for integrity
                        you harden your resolve like steel
                        without love's pure equality
                        or the impossible chance to fulfill...
                        Newborn rivers cry tears like my dreams
                        masked in sultry perfection
                        To breathe, to take
                        should we finally awake
                        and taste of this sweetened spring
                        But suddenly my thirst to appreciate
                        disappears like your waning, doubting faith
                        and leaves me with nothing but dust and wind:
                        more unspoken words to contemplate
