A Poem For You


The ebullient emotion, the designer of dreams, 
searched for the sense of the futile feeling.  
As it mingled enthralled 
with the aura of my twilight zone,   
my mind merged with the notion of obscurity, 
with the impulses ingrained.

The pearlescent path I had paved 
to the remote realm of retreat,
along the contorted contours 
of the desire of deserted desolation.
There the roses bloomed 
amidst the thorny cactus,
the scent took me with the mirage 
to the oasis of effervescent reverie. 

At the fringe of yonder splendor 
sprouted the verdant foliage of fervor,
the canopy cast the colors of the dusk sky 
on the canvas of the poet’s heart.
As twilight sequestered at the edge of night
the shape of silence in the static time,
the poetry of life flowed boundless 
under the star studded bejeweled sky.

As the mesmeric moonbeam sprinkled 
the sequins of silver dust, 
my muse floated in the rhythm of dream 
with the tinsels of longing,  
drifted onto your fervent firmament 
on the wings of lyrical zephyr.
Just because it entranced me, 
I wrote a poem for you.
