Out of the Desert - Original Poetry

Out of the Desert

To my desert,
to my dreams
came a deep
luscious green;
joy in your oasis
my lips must part
to drink
a depth so full
my bones will sink,
bathing in the cool
rushing fountain o'erwash this parched, cracking flesh.

No well so pure can
e'er compare
no word, no hell repress
a desert sun that burned so long
I crawled through storms for this.

Thank you @mariannewest! So are you!

The photo is great inspiration for your great poem!

Thank you! Sometimes the search for a matching image takes longer than a poem/piece of prose. This one reflects my feelings well, I thought.

Wonderful final rhyme and image! This has such a classical feel to it - reminds me a little of the Romantics of the late 1800s, with their use of natural imagery to evoke personal feelings. Language as lush as the oasis itself :)

Wow, what a wonderful comment. I really appreciate your encouraging comment. hugs!

So cute! a delicate way of writing delights us ... great
