Desert Flowers



Desert Flowers
Traipsing through the dust
Dry parched mouth
Illusions of water preside
Stumbling, falling blindly

Faltering hands reach out to buds
A beauty untouchable
Thorns entwine around
Binding me still

Thorns pierce my skin
Holding me tighter and tighter
Salt burns my eyes
Evil crushes my mind
