the desert in my dreams

is more beautiful than it seems

a lone cactus grows wild

upon a distant dune

as night longs for the sun

day misses her moon

something in my heart

cautions me not to step

a step too soon

but do I listen

Hell NO!

because in my dreams

I'm just like I am when I am

awake

hell bent and brazen

that second night I dreamed

I died of thirst in that desert

what do you think that means

I'm a killer of my own soul

perhaps

well then,

I should hope not

but I don't.................
