Life is a Dusty Desert...: Not Good Enough

Not Good Enough

There's nothing I can do
I'm out of hope and patience
I've tried to be there with you
There always was imbalance
That horrible ride
My over expectations
I feel like I've lied
And know I have no pardons
There's no way back
To the night that's passed
I know that I lack
I know I'll be last.

You may be romantically frustrated, but your poetry is definitely good enough. Seriously! You should think about pursuing this.

My Dusty Desert

Every dune seems to climb higher and higher. The sun gets brighter and brighter. The sand gets hotter and hotter. I stumble down the pillar of sand to find that I would just fall to the ground anyway. As time passes and my nap ends I hear the song. I hear the beautiful sound that breaks my heart and expands my soul and causes my mouth to fall open. It's no where near me but I can hear it. That's what matters. I climb to my feet. First a crawl then a walk then a run. By the end I am frolicking up and down the wave sand mountains towards the beautiful music only to find nothing. The fleeting song tries to leave my mind but jam my finger in my ear to keep it in. Sure I found my way to an oasis. To shelter and eventually out of the desert, but that song, that wonderful song is still in that desert asking for an ear to hear it cry out in sweet melodic joy.
