New Tales of the Gobi Desert
St. Mary’s Canossian College, Joey Lam, Poetry: Group 3
Full of mysteries, covered with masks
People come and look at my wonderful disguise
Yet not many can see
My gloomy heart through the deceiving masks.
The piercing wind tells my story
Too labyrinthine for travelers to understand
Once a noble man with elegant demeanors.
The massive sand covers my scars
So complex that no one comprehend
Staying alone in this remote place
Never be shown by rain of grace.
Don’t be deceived by my exquisite disguise
A secret surrounds my dismal heart
Could someone come and take off my masks
A wish existed for centuries.
