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
For those of you who I have just started reading my poetry, I do suggest looking throught the rest...I know not all is great, but I'm sure you will find some that you will enjoy

Hi ECM1013
This hits the spot - a tale of sheer despair extremely well told.
Best wishes

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.
