Raindrop In The Desert

by Lady Nik   Apr 17, 2010


Heated temptation melts this frozen
heart of mine. Built to last
torn to pass the time we spent
inside ourselves. Here we are
once again. I am the loveless lover
and you the imaginary friend.

Words are expelled beneath the sun
burnt to a blackened crisp
now molded into stone. Read the words
as you may, follow their truths
and believe what they say. Dare
you to try, dare you to live
inside a world that never ends.

I've always been the rock
among diamonds never knowing
how to shine. Shimmer, glitter, sparkle
then I'm out of sight. But this is my destiny,
to be that one outcast. The raindrop
in the desert..trying to last.

    A poem about lonliness, and the need to be unique, and the failure of trying to be so. Liked the idea, but the poem was a bit off. The lines cut, this time, was disturbing the poem from start to end. I didn't feel like it was much of a poem, but many words forming phrases together. I can't say I didn't enjoy reading it though, and although the non-rhyming and broken lines concept, I still think the idea is a unique one. 4/5

    This poem was amazing. However, I'm not sure I liked the way it was written...when I read it..it felt weird the way you had written it...but when I look past that...it's an amazing poem!

    The title made me curious and I am glad I stopped to read this piece, you have done a nice job, I like your descriptions and the flow of it all. It read nicely and I think we can all relate to it in some manner. Great work.
