Least Not The Desert Flower A man is that desert flower Stubborn and tough like the ageless mountains Born into solitude and contentment Thriving in reality’s harshness Rarely complaining of life’s misfortunes But praying that patience will bring a dreamer’s rain And the end to loneliness and self-blame. The prayer is answered with the breeze And in that breeze is the scent of a woman Smelling of sweet lilacs and honey Arousing the forgotten passions of a man As her love falls in a crimson rain Washing away dirt from eyes and heart Nourishing the hardened soil of her own sorrow, Underneath which, the soul of a man smiles. Marcel |

A man who is willing to show the sensitivity within himself, and able to do so without seeming weak or maudlin...is a rarity even in PIP. You just made a fan. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Of so many favorite writes you have done Marcel, this took a mystery and made it understood in such a soft and warming enfold. Your thoughts spill here as velvet waterfalls. TD |

oh that she reaches him before he has grown spines of protection against the harshness, before he has become a cactus flower lovely piece Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

A flowering poet such as yourself, blooms even in the harshest of arid deserts. Lovely penning from a sensitive and loving man.  Bloom on, Dear Poet!  EA |
