My Desert Song Poem

Embrace me my beloved for I panic when in isolation

Dry desert winds scorch away at my shriveled up heart

Sand has grazed my tender toes that curl to stop the burning

The cactus have pricked my most treasured emotions

I can sense a desert storm forthcoming

Nowhere to escape the sudden death of your memories

My lips have cracked for lack of yours that moistened them

Trembling under this unknown icy chill

Almost bleeding for lack of warm attention from your touch

My chest is caving in to try and send away the haunting ghosts

That is your memory within my soul

My arms have been weakened refusing to hold close another

You are the only safety my heart knew

All I have now

Is this photograph that is the only reminder of your existence

My feet refuse to move away from this place we called home

Knees knocking against each other simply because they can

I am a shadow of myself in the midst of cruelty

Before you I was seeping from the cup of never falling in love

I melted in disdain without your intensifying aphrodisiac words

I crave your presence that kept me sensible and unruffled

It is a sudden wasteland… my heart, my mind, my body, my soul

The last song with keys that have refused to play loud

Keeps replaying in my worn-out consciousness

You need to be back before winter steals away my cold skin

I can only explain it this way, that

You have left a barren region where fertility was

I have become a shell, empty within because I need you so much

Battle fields that have been abandoned is what my world has become

Only falling again when I try to climb up

Out of this misery that has become a daily dose of tranquilizer

I swallowed my pride to surrender to your snugly arms

I want not to surrender to this throbbing in my chest

All I want is to be alright without your suggestively armored kiss

Temperately I take every impossible footstep towards being alright

This desert will not break my resolve of becoming whole

As terrifying as walking blindly without you

Or the torture of sleeping alone may seem

I have won the war of the fear of losing this love eternally

I have been a broken hearted soul for far too long

I will erase it all

At the end of it all, your heart, soul, flesh will no longer be in mine
