lemons poetry

desert of weepless tears

drop of water in the desert 

oasis drink by camels 

heat beating down on me 

exposing the blood under the skin 

the heat of the sand under my feet growing hotter 

lizards scouring at me waiting for there pray to show 

plants drying up and turning into dust 

the rocks cracking under me 

pleading with god to let the sky rain 

but in a rainless land you cant expect an ocean.....
