My Life is a Desert

by Dawn Pisturino
site: http://www.dawnpisturino.wordpress.com

My life is a desert. Big and brown and empty.
A chill wind blows sand across my heart,
burying it forever.

Cactus needles pierce my feet and hands,
making the blood flow red.
I place the Crown of Thorns upon my head.

Broken and bent, I ascend the Cross.
Hanging like rotten fruit from a dead tree,
I gaze across the barren landscape and cry,
“My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?”

daffodil dreams

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

from the tips of my fingers
to the tops of my toes

a flower sits
in repose

calling to me
dejected and forlorn

I compose

myself
and listen to the words whispered
forth

speaking to me of daffodil dreams
and peeks sanguine

in the distance
they seem

like a memory

of another time
when the love you brought to me

was something altogether different
than this fractured reverie

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Penetra surdamente no reino das palavras.

Lá estão os poemas que esperam ser escritos.

Estão paralisados, mas não há desespero,

há calma e frescura na superfície inata.

Ei-los sós e mudos, em estado de dicionário.

Convive com teus poemas antes de descrevê-los…”

Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Procura da Poesia.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Literatura brasileira/ Seleção de textos, notas, estudos biográficos, históricos e crítico por Rita de Cássia Barbosa. 3 Ed. São Paulo: Nova Cultural, 1990
