The Desert
December 30, 2015
I wait for you
Like a desert waits for rain-
Contingently
And when you come,
You conjure feelings in me
That I never knew existed
I lost myself in a mirage of you
_____
You held my emotions in one hand
And challenged my disposition
With the other
Something holy
You were,
A shaman to me;
Infatuating me
_____
But with my first taste of water
I vomited your dogma
And buried you in the
Dunes of my past
