Original Poem: Love and Hardship in Desert Neon Sky Long Forgotten

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

My love is a desert story
Tearing me away to a brand new day
It rips me apart
Then a new day starts
A day of new survival. All alone

My love is a desert story
It makes me drive all night and day
It makes me stand still
Till my legs give out
From the sun on my back. Desert home

My love is a desert story
It shows me a comfort in being away
Not a soul in sight
The highway's so bright
We'll drive a new day. All alone

My love is a desert story.
The mystery wind over the sandy floor
Wide open skies
Still wonder in my eyes
Celebrate freedom and sadness in my home
