Lustful Disguise Poem by Stacey Williams

The heat rises between us,
We burn out all the sun,
The sand does roll around us,
And hits us like a gun.

From the ground we’re rising,
Spitting grains out at our flesh,
We pull on each other’s long hair,
As we struggle to find breath.

At once the earth deceives us,
But we no longer care;
We need not the sand beneath us,
Not ground that’s oh so bare.

We continue you in our lustful journey,
Through life with hand in hand,
We need not the sun rays that burn our skin,
We need not the scorching sand.

So onwards we move in pleasure,
Forgetting all pain past,
The sun can never hurt us,
But the scar will always last.

So find myself through indulgence,
My greed, my hunger, my thirst.
She pierced my heart through my eyes
To watch my body burst.

Into a thousand pieces I crumble,
She smiles at me in death.
She holds herself in laugher,
I take my very last breath.

In my last words I cursed her,
Bleeding fist held to the sky,
Through the air I fall again,
On lands so cracked and dry.

I lay there on the ground of dead,
Seeing only her green eyes,
Her kindness was a cover up,
Her lust was a disguise.

***

I forget the deceitful mirage,
And accept my fate is nigh.
The last delusion was the death of me,
So I shall finally close my eyes! !
