woke up in this desert
no water within range
sun stood up above me
called me out by name

the heat of its body
the sting of its ray
an everlasting fire
burns me with dismay

exhausted; not defeated
counter with a call for rain
no well can be filled
until I pour desire
overtop eternal flame

open 👁️ wide
mental concubine
everything wanted
head hazily haunted

judgement, desire
a lust felt fire
that calls through
summoned as one
nothing of none

vision mind side
doorway open
until blinked away

musing to maintain
hidden brain grey
main mental frame
desire detained

the outer edge
tinged with echos
of the past

empty out the silence
& raise a glass

ready my fortune
even out the divine
call on mantras
bat bashful eyes

embrace the mundane
& toast whats left

reverberate in stasis
form new ideations
life subsides
peace in my own
creation

amongst the tired
hum drums
& wasted
shadow views
the unsettled sits
awake in blue

no sleep to stir
just the gentle murmur
of written words

a smoke wrapped
mind left waiting
in the world’s
longest queue
in plain speak
I beg the dark
may this dream find you
