Desert Goddess

The sand flows over the cliffs

like the golden hair about her shoulders

 

Her skin, the petals of a cactus flower

soft to the touch, yet weathered to stand the elements 

 

Her eyess, oasis blue

glinting and gleaming, water itself

deep reflecting pools of the soul

 

The curves of her body, the winding river

that cut and carved the rock, my loins

 

Her spirit is free, the last phantom maverick

never to be tamed

 

 

The laugh of hers

echos on the howling wind

of my imagination.
