Mirage 2012

 

She is an oasis

I see as a mirage

The fluffed up green

Around the pool

From which I hope to sip,

Desperate as she

Grows more distant

The thirstier I get,

An Eden with only

This paltry serpent

To lure her

To sample my fruit,

Dangling from the one tree

We are forbidden to taste,

An oasis, an Eden,

All already lost

As I lick the buds

And suck the juice,

Waiting for the wrath of God

To cast us out,

Knowing deep down

The exile is worth it,

If only it is more than

A mere mirage
