Unjust

Passion bids farewell to trust,
hours fade with memories -
timeless hands of love unjust.

Vagrant is the desert’s dust
confined in your errant breeze -
passion bids farewell to trust.

The clock of time, your hands adjust
with rain that lies in scorn’s reprise -
timeless hands of love unjust.

Urgent is the longing thrust
that complements my barren seas -
passion bids farewell to trust.

Persistent is your battered gust,
bargaining the flesh you please -
timeless hands of love unjust.

Deceptive are the sands of lust,
drifting hearts, a soul to seize.
Passion bids farewell to trust,
timeless hands of love unjust.
