PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I can drive through the desert

leaving wakes of dust behind

to settle at will.

I no longer see the

fraudulent smiles
of townspeople,
dead as sure

as they're alive.

I no longer feel the wrath

of an angry sun upon my skin.

I only feel the soothing lullaby

of warm air gallantly parading

through my windows.
