You're stuck in the middle of a desert. The sun is beaming against your skin. It's boiling hot. You have no way of communicating with the outside world whatsoever. All you have is a bottle of water. In a distance, you see paradise...the perfect mirage. Describe your perfect mirage in 20 words or less.

My Ride

A car, blue thru the shimmer,

one sunburnt muscular arm

bent in the rolled down window,

idles for me.

Hold Me

Shifting

Burning

Sand

I fall...

Reassuring

Enveloping

Embrace

I sleep...

I almost don't feel

his arms

as

they

burn.

Luxury: Civilization-Free

A pool just cold enough to make you shiver.

And a girl just hot enough to make you quake.

Perfection

I'm so glad 

the gallows

found me

here-

the end

of this thirst.

Mirage; Lollipops I Never Got

Horses kissing their distorted reflections in water.

Shadows four times the length of mine, attached to lollipops brown and green.

My Place

Eyes open, I see

The place I want to be

Standing there, smile of glee

Is my sweetheart, sugar free

Fake Paradise

It glitters like a diamond mine playing tricks with my parched mind.

The fake paradise thought cools. I am fooled!

Paradise.

I didn't know what my paradise would look like, 

                                           until I saw it in a picture, 

                                                         glittering in the sand.

Composure

Only a liter left, I sat sunbathing until the blissfulness of death.
