A parched, desolate, desiccated desert
amid winding gorges, cliffs of reserve
dark clouds of passion, an unheeded alert
A pending flash flood of what desires deserve
Desperation's white water rapids of tears
erode a stone sky, bedrock of my will
Tangled in coils of barbwire fears,
submerged below debris, thorn crowned lungs fill
Rotting flames of hope extinguished,
now soggy ashes, exhausted limbs cool
Under the spark of desire relinquished
lies the amour drown corps of a fool

A wonderful poem ❤️
Desperation's white water rapids of tears
erode a stone sky, bedrock of my will

submerged below debris, thorn crowned lungs fill
