Ultra violet rays pommel ivy tones into a fiery stained scarlet
Lack of shade causes perspiration to drop from scorched brow
Stark columns now rubberized appendages from a lengthy trek
Parched and pale lips painfully crack beneath the sun's drying kiss
Rolling copper hills run vast and wide before distressed eyes
Mountains of sand covered with S-shaped tracks give direction
Invisibly asphyxiated by a briskly blowing super heated current
Dehydration of the pallet driving thirst to colossal proportions
Overrun from exhaustion, struggling to journey onward
Knees buckle and cave, collapsing upon the sweltering sands
Striving to crawl and scratch through granulated sand valleys
In the distance thunderous roars speak of possible precipitation
Salvation a mere glimmer in the psyche, extinction is eminent
There, upon the outskirts, rising like a phoenix from the ashes
A statuesque Goddess stands in shadowed pools of crystal blue
Tranquil exquisiteness silently singing a siren's haunting song
Inch by inch moving closer, motivated by carnal cravings
Lips cry for the drink to quench this seemingly undying thirst
Frustration increases as deliverance grows more unattainable
Surging forth mesmerized by an intoxicating voice of serenity
Lightening crashes, ripping through a haze of humidity
The flood gates of heaven burst, spilling monsoon rains
Feeding the body and soul laying upon drowning sands
Sturdy stone columns return as rejuvenation is completed
The enchanting song of the seductive temptress is no more
Gone, like a thief in the night.....reality or just a mere liquid illusion
