A Lifeless Plain Poem by Daya Nandan

The scorching heat that burns my skin,
The severe dehydration that drains me from within,
The urge for water to quench my thirst,
An honest prayer before i face the worst,

The lifeless and barren plain roasts my feet,
Just waiting for death and chaos to meet,
The raging wind blows torrid sand,
As i feel weakness in each leg and hand,

The nights on the other hand are too cold to bare,
Freezing alone while breathing dry air,
I feel such pain and weakness in each joint,
As the temperatures fall beyond freezing point,

Such torture and pain it is to be alone,
Longing for happiness and a place to call home,
This poem is not about being lost in a desert under the sky of blue,
It is just me describing how i feel living a day without you.
