Desert Wind

Desert Wind

A Poem by Tiny Drop
"

Fly away like the desert wind

"
I who am like the wind
Am strong and weak
Willful sometimes
And coward even

Will you stay knowing that?
Or will you fly far away?
Do you even see me now?
Or just some guy on a sunny bay?

Am I just a toy or the one you really love?
Maybe this time I'm walking out
Because I see no way to stay
But since you know better, do call me out.
And if you dare crush this romantic mistake
We used to call love
By god, do not hesitate!

Leave no unsaid word
And either give me the whole world
Or go away
Like the desert wind
Just fly away!

this pulls at the heart strings, very well written

It's interesting that, in this poem the speaker admits to being strong and weak, yet seems to afford no such grace for their counterpart: that they must be the strong one, the definitive one simply because the first person demands it. Further confounding is that if the demand is not met, then they ought expel themselves like the wind which is apparently personified already by the speaker...

Oh my. What a recipe for disaster we have here. Though such is the common frame of "love" - however misguided. I think you captured that aspect very clearly.

Nice work.

It's funny how you managed to grasp the central idea of confusion I wanted to convey.
