Desert Mysteries
1102200920312049
Living on heat and drought,
creature and plant life – alien.
Struggling to survive in this land of doubt,
thirsty throats everywhere, yet forsaken.
The landscape betrays a traveler,
promises of lovers words.
The intensity of extreme weathers,
delude a mouthful of hordes.
Water from an oasis thread,
a last hope of fulfilling requirement.
This life given to this terrain of dread,
Breathes in dreams of enchantment.
Yet the desert buries secrets,
since ancient times kept hidden.
A madman’s paradise filled regret,
Lover’s vows renewed, but forbidden.

WOW, that is deep! I really like this one, Zorlone. “A madman's paradise filled regret”. Very nice.
It seems you're posting faster than I can read…he he he…way to go, your creativity shines through more vibrantly this month. Papaano na ang sideline mong pagdo-doctor? (What would happen now to your sideline job of being a doctor?) he he he.
Doc Z, I love the last line,
“Lover’s vows renewed, but forbidden.”
Hmmm, based from personal love experience kaya ito? Intriguing ha
I've been to a desert – well a couple if you count Nevada. Lol. I was hella hot there yikes.
An interesting thing to note about deserts is that when it rains there, everything suddenly turns green until the sun dries everything up again. Cool no?

Really Rey? That sound cool. I would want to witness such.
wow writer.. “the shapeshifter of words”.. how to be one? i am really aiming to being a good writer someday.. haha.. ^^
Thanks Heather!
Saw an episode of discovery channel, the survival guy? Then made this poem.
Z
On that, I slowed down a bit, but not because I want to stop, but because of other affairs.
Z
Hi Madz,
Oo nga ano? The words just came to me and they may be somehow related to real life experiences or maybe from too much telenovelas in the evening. LOL.
Z
Rey,
You said it! One of life's mysteries.
Z
Madz,
Rey is our official tour guide. he he he
Z
Geb0i,
Just hold on to that dream. All of us have to if we want that to come true.
Z
@Docz, @Madz – it's cool to witness. One day it's all gray and beige – then
the next day it's all green.
Time to visit Lyle in UAE. hehee!
This poem is very timely Bro! Hay…
“Yet the desert buries secrets,
since ancient times kept hidden.
A madman’s paradise filled regret,
Lover’s vows renewed, but forbidden.”
Says it all…
Sure basta sagot nyo plane tickets ko hehe!
I see you're now sporting the new favicon ah! Naks!
Uy! Sama ako dyan! Well, another great post Doc Z!
yeah! it’s so nice!
Thanks bro!
Z
Saan ? sa Clark? he he he…Ang ganda nga ng favicon, parang Zorro. Blow out!
I like “thirsty throats everywhere, yet forsaken”. That is so true of much in this world.
All this, being a doctor, and rocking NaNoWriMo, too! Is there anything you cannot do?
I never knew you wanted telenovelas, he he. I failed to ask your favorite TV show on my interview *tsk tsk*
Thanks Jena, If you’ll be needing help just feel free to ask. Kayo pa!
Grt imageries!!grt 2b back!!n ur new home is cooler than ever!!
I lapsed a bit and had a delay in posting my poems. he he he. Very unlike me, but I got sick, caught a viral infection. But will be writing more, I hope today and the day after and more days to come. Wait, I forgot, I have to make my rounds too. LOL
Z
Madz,
The desert is one of the places that, to me, is mysterious, at the same time, enchanting. My attempt at finding one here was a failure when I went to the sand dunes of the north and only saw a barb wired fence that says private property.
Z
Reyjr.
Exactly what deserts are for. he he he. The sun and desolation.
Z
Geb0i,
I like that! That sounds cool! Thank you bro!
Z
Shhhh… di naman halata di ba?
Z
Reyjr.
Sige, treat mo ang pamasahe?
Z
Elmot,
Bro, this means so much because the last stanza sums the poem, although it wasn’t meant that way, but it turned out like that. LOL Okay, now I am laughing at my own style, toinks! I need to take my pills bro. The crazy side is overpowering me.
Z
Magpapalibra tayo kay Rey pare.
Z
Anne,
I am afraid that I have been slacking in my nanowrimo, but, I have to come back and keep writing. We do have time to rewrite and edit edit edit, write, err, I mean right? he he he.
Thank you for the kind words.
Z
Deep,
Long time no see brother! Will catch up with you this weekend online.
Thank you!
