I have a forest

I have a forest
I want to give to you
Where the wind sings your name
In words whispered in dew
Where the trees are dead
Because you never stay
Where the flowers loose their color
And then just wilt away

I have an ocean
That I want to give to you
Where the sea is dried up
Leaving only salt for my wounds
Where the dolphins are silent
And the waves have died
Where the moon
Can no longer affect it's tide

I have a desert
That I keep for me
Where no one belongs
Because there is nothing to see
Where I can do no wrong
Because it's only me
Where the days drag on and on
Long and empty

Hi ECM1013

This hits the spot - a tale of sheer despair extremely well told.

Best wishes

Bill (Fellsman). cheers

Yes I enjoyed this poem the sense that it is the world we are destroying

The desert of loneliness - how I know that so well. The world seems to be a much lusher beautiful place when you have love. Without it - you shrivel up into a dry emotionless shell.

Thanks for sharing.
