Wasteland

 

 

In the fallow land

between the brain’s creases

lie wasted carcasses

of infertile thoughts…

words have dried up

and emotions have run to

tired ground.

 

Where is the lush green landscape

that once thrived here

where the fountain of life

and hopeful longings

fed the roots of blooming ideas

and blossoming ambition;

where ardent emotion bore fruits of love

and passion?

 

A dry searing wind

slaps my gaze into a haze of forgetfulness.

When I look up again

I am back in this barren wasteland

of dispirited dying

inspiration.
