My heart is a cactus flower

My heart is a cactus flower
Unwilling to bend...
Unwilling to wilt...
Unwilling to die...
But—still.

I just can’t walk away...
I’ve sold my life.
For a deserts ray
For a deserts ray
Of light!

Thirsty and more!
Blistered and sore!
My soul is damned,
To confess:
My eyes are parched
For more, more
Than I can posses.
Envisage.
In a—mirage!
But—still.

I just can’t walk away...
I’ve sold my heart and soul.
For a deserts ray
For a deserts ray
Of light!
