Arid Myths

Land ridden with droughts
Not a single drop to drink
Land ridden with doubts
Not a moment's peace to wink 

Barren terrain eyes see
Seeds lost in screaming tracks
Barren hopes senses flee
Self rots in silent soul cracks

A desert oasis hangs mid-air
Truth or mirage who's to know
A smiling set of eyes there
Burning skin and breath to glow

Smell of jasmine a claimed myth
As soil disbelieves sights of cloud
Smell of earth and hungers writhe
Ounces of soul for an empty shroud

Cherished, adored, and sheltered 
Grass casings in glassy sheaths
For when rain shall reign again
Reviving the numb pounding heaths

Lustrous pearls like shelved shells 
Licked raw and laid beneath
Shadows crawl in dreaded despair
Wells thirst for potion, musings sith

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
