Desert Rose

My Desert Rose in garden grows,
a flower soft and fair.
As sunshine streams its brilliant beams,
this beauty shows her flair.

Her petals bright red fades to white,
the throat a hint of gold.
Leaves shiny green, she’s nature’s preen,
a treasure to behold.

So opulent, this succulent,
and hardy to the...

Ode To a Desert Rose
Ode to a Desert Rose

Hiding in her desert place
There lives a desert rose
Not much water   little rain
Yet on and on she goes...

Day to day she shows her face
To those who can not see
All her beauty hides the pain
And tears that set her free...

Still...

Desert Rose
Pale crimson skies
Stretched beyond repair. 
Clouds as scarce as life
Above the desert’s lair. 

Upon the sarcous traces
Of the dusty morsels, 
Rain from a wispy heart
Like drunken yodels.

From the parched sands,
Palatable scents diffuse. 
It approaches, it taunts
The flesh cannot refuse.

The dead wind in its lullaby
Whispers vigorously...

I was driving to Utah, because I had gotten a promotion;
And chose the scenic route, so as to put things in motion.

I had been traveling from Los Angeles, to Salt Lake City;
And the scenery along the way, had been remarkably pretty.

I had packed food and...

Desert Rose
Ask me where I hide
Where I conceal my thoughts 
And my darkest lies…
Ask me where I run to
When the moons are full
And there’s nothing more than the devil's grin…
Ask me what I’ve told you
During the latest hours 
Of the darkest morns…
If you would just ask…
I'd...

My Brooding Desert Rose
on my life long jurney
i've seen many splendid things 
men who could bring down mountains
powder to give me wings
but the rarest thing
i have seen i suppose
is the dark and wounderous flower
my brooding desert rose
in her eyes i see the univers
in her smile, a gling of...

The Existing of Desert Rose
Rose, Oh, Rose, of the desert. long and dry were the day's that you were gone. The sky ever pressing, dry the taste, air tormenting the soul, during your search. Ah, yet the dream of your return, grasped my longing desires, to see you once...

In the warmest of weather and harshest of conditions
lives a special rose
You see... she carries herself with a smile
everywhere she goes

It's peace she seeks to make
between every woman and man
and even for the youngsters 
who yet to understand...

that this world that we live in
can be...

gorgeous desert rose
issuing poisonous sap 
a sweet succulent 

I love you so much
adoring your viciousness
danger to children

like a blowfish
you could harm my pets also
I wave goodbye now...

The desert preys upon me
It entangles its arms
Reaches for me,
Plunges its hands into my heart
And pulls me
Into its cold and winding paths
Submerged with the coldness
Of the nothingness that makes it up!

The desert preys upon me
And as I walk upon it
I can feel
The eyes of Death...

Desert Rose
A pretty little rose born in desert land
Growing in torched hot sand 
Where loneliness all around 
And no company can be found 
Lashed by sunlight
Dry out in hot thirsty night 
Though don't know why to live 
Fragrance it can give 
And it will do 
Thought...
