Dead Sands
Birth Trifle Songs
Forgotten Melodies
Wake Sleeping Youth
Silent Winds
Dance Along Stolen
Unfulfilled Hopes
From Ashes Reborn
Troubled Souls
Return To Slumber.

Haiku: Sand Storm
Dry earth wails its tune
Drowning lungs in hot samoum
Sky weeping softly
Oasis
In this life there are
Two days
One you breathe
The other you grieve
What is left in-between
Is a mirage
Of aquatic blue, green
An oasis
Only an Arab can dream.
Always distant
Never grasped.
Unquenched thirst
Devours our hearts
Consuming
Away our meager
Thoughts
Of failures
And disappointments gone
We compete against
The truthful winds
Reminding us of
Where we are;
In deserted
Desert heats
Chasing after
Taste-less meats.
Slowly comprehension
Dawns
Upon the minds
Of feeble man
to quit the chase
And retrace
the path
That brought us
To this place.
Searching amongst
The desert dunes
Catching unfamiliar
Tunes of
Chanting pleas
on bended knees
We wait
We stop
We ponder
We gaze
Half way
Through this
Perilous maze
There lies
A well
Of fortunes past
Waiting for our
Thirsty grasp
Going back to where we began
We achieved our aims
Of worldly dreams
And ending our sandy
Schemes
Only to have them stashed away
Until the next rainy day.
