Flower of Mine

by Velantra
The desert suffocating
Plants heartbroken
Shackled in fear
Emptiness, heat surrounding them.

Feeling isolated, crying dry tears
Daydreaming, craving
For a green, cool oasis.

Their leaves but crushed souls
Flowers torn, scorched.
As night set, sleeping drained
Dreading a new day.

Fighting for their gloomy existence
Knowing they need to grow new seed.

Hearing rumble, hiding tattered leaves
Searching the horizon for dust
Frightened of being buried
From this wretched life.

Crushed flowers
Trying to look upwards
It’s seed desperate.

Dry, carried away in dust
Searching for the white
Cool, wet, night.
Gloomily, they disappear in a ripple of dust.

While my thoughts take life on paper
I will write for you forsaken
A light of splendid thunder
A night with water
A night new life…….
Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?
