in restless dreams I walk

in restless dreams I walk 
across the desert floor
searching for things that are nevermore 
my screams of rage echo off canyon walls 
to be heard by nothing more than my own ears
the sand dry as the lies told to me
deserted in this desert of loneliness
tears like silent raindrops fall 
never to be seen again 
in the parched sun on naked earth 
the memory of love dulled
on my knees my soul grasps at fatal misconceptions
of love and divine intervention 
or maybe a mystic door left ajar where I can escape 
the demons that plague me
