    The Desert Sand

     The Desert sand
    What a waste land

    Nothing for miles around
    Silence is the loudest sound

    Dunes go on for miles
    Gives you time to think about your triumphs and your trials

    The sun bearing down on you without forgiveness
    Why am I here who did this

    The heat burning your skin
    Almost like hell on earth how you have sinned

    Your throat is dry
    Swallowing is like cutting your throat from the inside

    Your eyes are blurred by the brightness
    Your chest doesnt expand you feel the tightness

    The sands seem to be moving but you seem to be still
    You are alone the vultures waiting for the kill

    You are walking around like you are a loner
    Only to wake up to a hangover

    Dry mouth and coughing from your chest
    Well did you past the test

    This piece hits me because for a while I sought solace in the bottom of a bottle and for me this line is what strikes my heart .((The sun bearing down on you without forgiveness Why am I here who did this)))) I was my own worst enemy can still be though not through drinking anymore

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
