    This desert feeling

     Lonely and tired,
    I hunger and thirst in vain,
    walking aimlessly through
    this hot desert plain. 
    Wary and worn,
    clothes tattered and torn,
    hoping for something to fill my
    insatiable hunger and thirst,
    unknowing of whether or not 
    I would die first.
    Why am i here suffering through this?
    These thoughts cross my mind,
    all for love, or is it that it's what
    hope to find.
    Can a love that makes me feel
    such a yearning for lack,
    be worth all this toil and me
    breaking my back?
    Desires within me to be filled
    with precious care,
    a longing, an aching for you to be 
    here,
    here in my world making it ours,
    you and me blossoming like
    beautiful flowers,
    but all beautiful things need precious
    care and attention,
    like all women have the need for
    love and affection.

    as with all things, they must be taken care of or they will not survive, the most important of these is love, for with out a touch, a look, and a care it will not bloom, a slight caress works wonders and the desert will bloom, well done

    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.
