Flesh (by Dez Savoy from New Orleans, LA)

There are moments that my flesh is quiet with contentment...it is only a matter of time when the beast of my soul shall wake from his slumber...

Born of the Desert

Image
Coffee in my glass Horses in my dreams  Equine energy  In waves like the sea  I was born of the desert  Hell and high water  I’ve crawled across dry earth  Scaled my mountains of hurt  To bring to you this version  Searching for requited love  It’s there for your taking  Should you so choose  Mud and Sun formed me  To fall in love with you  Piss and vinegar mask my tender heart  Your face is my shelter  This love, my truest art  So come on and love me  My silly boy  Make it all feel worthwhile  Come on and love me  My blue eyed boy  Make me hang around for a while.
