Caged Away (100 word poetry)

Mirage (@ravenrogue_myra)

Mirage

Parched throat

Desert storm

Broken spirit

Feet torn

Many a mirage

Took me down

The path

of regret

I tire on

A drop of life

Simple respite

I drank heaven

From your palm

You shouldered

My burden

Led me by my hand

To an oasis

Through a maze

Of arid waves

The sun set

My soul wept

More drops

of heaven

My lips met

Starry night

Drift asleep

Under silver blankets

Of the moon's smile

With bloodshot eyes

The sky wakes

I blink

I see you

Turn to dust

Reach out

My frantic hand

Only to touch

The desert sand
