Tumbling, Tumble Weeds

the sand dunes blow

and the weeds go tumbling

into the ravine deep and wide

a painted desert

could persuade you

to join me in my mirage

but if I go tumbling,

would you come along ?

we’ll see the sage brush

and  colorful flowers that bloom

only watch out for the cactus

it will awake your soft creamy skin

to wrap around the midnight sky

I can see the tumble weeds

as they go tumbling by

I will take you to my oasis

for a cool, cool drink of water

which will turn to wine

after we embrace and kiss

our love is so very fine

and sand dunes make a bed

just watch out for the scorpions,

the painted desert will color us

in kisses of purple sage

our love will be ignited

by the heat of our passionate kisses

we shall inflate, blown by the wind

we are carried into slumber

after love has surrendered  to our souls

we shall mate

and be like desert dunes !
