A faint trace of tender words
on a tattered piece of paper
she clutched against her heart
as she wandered trough deserts
on a hopeless quest for a lost oasis …
seeking to sate the perpetual hunger
besieging her longing spirit.
She had felt the seething torrent
slowly engulfing her senses…
entombing every emotion
and releasing only torment.
She crossed many oceans
escaping from dark demons
in vain … endless despair.
La Bête Noire imaginaire…
cursing endless nightmares
hurling raw gratification
on forsaken barren liaisons.
Untamed she roamed
through life hoping,
searching … longing
for the precious one
who could conquer
her imprecated heart
