Desert Eyes

Swallow me whole

engulf me 

with your hungered gaze

your azured almonds ablaze

with a million Saharan fires

wordless interrogate me

through sand-laden lashes

long parched of horizons beyond

your drommedaire’s plod...

Who, you ask

am I to roam your soul

inspect you as insect

as mere fodder for my

stranger’s lust

to fathom the depths

of your abandoned dreams?

What right have I you hissed, sizzled 

to infiltrate your horizonless ennui

pillage again your voided yesterdays

and penetrate the sunbleached veils

of all your tomorrows

only to silent forsake you -

your thirst for all you want to know of me

unslaked

So you are once again

roamed without permission 

then deserted in my wake of

designer trainers upon 

the sands of your dessicated heart.
