There are many repeated elements in these (poems),simply these elements are the muse that sustains my thought. My favorite form of poetry is the epic. From this I borrowed the style that narrates a story but due to a turbulent mind and a mercurial muse, many of these (poems) lack the length that is characteristic of the epic.

Desert Dances

A phantom mist rises slowly
Over the parched barren land
A lone bloom, enamored with the tranquility
Takes a solemn bow, to the gracious hand.

A whirling pool of magic
Is born , as a beautiful sorceress
Spinning an enthralling lattice
In the sepia sea, she dances.

The Air begs a somber moment,
A storm is approaching
Promises like whispers, torment
The little Flower, waiting.

Like crystals from heaven,
The sky sheds a tear
A weeping mother, sins forgiven
Feeds her babe, her precious with care.

The little bloom stands his ground
With a strength that would sanction
Samson’s tremble and Hercule’s frown
Drinking this magic potion.

The flower like a lone soul,
Longing for his lover’s kiss
Drinks every drop as it performs the role
Imbibing a nectar, drowning in bliss.

For this moment rare indeed
Heaven takes a sigh and Nature prances
Apollo looks on with pride, and Wind rides a steed
Around the little bloom in the Deserts’ dances.

You created some awesome images there. However, I didn't quite understand the title..why a 'dance'?

like a dance that is choreographed, so too I look on life as a series of events like a dance
