Eastern Wind

by Sunshine   Jul 30, 2010


"Unreachable love'
--

You are a deep western ocean of love;
I'm a lost camel in a thirsty desert.

As your waves try to reach my driest
pebbles, eastern winds blow preventing
even the shallow droplets from your water
to rest neither over my glowing golden
grains, nor over my hard, dry, wishful dice..

Thirsty I remain, over this arid land in-front
of your endless current..
Mad your waves remain in-front of my
unreachable wasteland.

Painfully peacefully abiding with each
untouchable desire, silently reviving;
a fragile burden that shall tires with my misery

For you, an ocean of love that life summers
tries to dry..
and I, a thirsty camel of a lost desert that life
winters shall never sate..

    The wording was a little weird in places. Other then that it was good. I like how you use things in nature to stand for things having to do with love.

    rated it 5/5

    OK.....takin' a chance here but I got inspired
    (I think)..and,
    I'll only be around another week or so before I must focus on other elements of life..
    and yikes!..I even changed a couple of words!...
    and some technical details..
    well......see what you think....
    and please don't yell at me..'-)

    Anyway..ike I said...you seem as though
    you could write fairy tales......
    maybe that's what this one is...

    You are a deep western ocean of love
    and I am a lost camel in a thirsty desert.

    As your waves try to reach my dryness,
    eastern wind blows preventing
    even the shallow droplets from your water
    to rest, neither over my glowing golden
    grains, nor over my hard, dry, wishful dice..

    Thirsty I remain, over this arid sand in front of your endless current..
    Mad your waves remain in front of my unreachable wasteland

    This, painfully, peacefully abides with
    each untouchable desire.
    Silent it lives with the unspeakable pain.
    This, fragile burden that shall my misery tire..

    For you are an ocean of love that
    life's summers tries to dry..
    and I am the thirsty camel of a desert
    that life's winters shall never sate..

    Read this twice, it was beautiful. i liked the contrast you used!
    the first two lines:

    "You are a deep western ocean of love
    and I'm a lost camel in a thirsty desert."
    -beautiful. just perfect!

    love that you want but cant get - that is the hardest ...

    This was absolutely beautiful and flowed with such well-portrayed emotions. I could definitely read this again, I love how you wrote this though and automatically captivated the reader. Very creative take I would say. Thank you for your sweet comment and God bless you all days.
