Dunes

First thing I ever wrote. Plants begin to emerge in a desert. The desert dies as the plants flourish. [Written - 16.06.2024}

Latent life befell,

Upon the canvas of death.

Usurping stranger,

Rears its unclenched fist.

 .

Harbinger of unbidden paradise,

Heeds her rhetoric pleas.

Forsaken curves draped,

In a tangle of dun.

.

From life came death,

To her serpentine skin.

Forlorn stranger,

Mewls against her breast.

,

Mother.

Stranger.

.

Hear me.

Heresy.

.

Disillusion.

It's like sitting on the ground in a dark, narrow space and putting your head between your hands. This poem made me experience that. Congratulations on your first writing, we look forward to the rest, my friend. Welcome.
