Desiccation

Her anger
virulent as a southern storm in summer
roars and rages invectives

Her eyes
flashes of lightning
swift daggers dispatching slivers of
shivers resonates unrequited love

Desiccation of hearts
cold frigid and destroyed

A wasteland of memories
strewn in mud
irrevocable
where love is void only
an empty cavity of hope
susceptible to

A masquerade of lies
