Dream In Debris
Within the fragile frame of my fervent heart,
tinged with the tinsels of the amorous night,
my love gleamed with the enticing glow,
suffused with the sequins of your subtle grace.
I tried to feel the tempting touch
of your intangible mesmeric charisma,
but you glided away from my entranced sight
like the autumn cloud across my sky of dream.
From the threshold of my desire reverie
your footprints disappeared I didn’t know where.
With the turquoise thread of lingering longing,
I weaved the tapestry of fantasy in my dream.
From the ebony edge of the night of despair
storm clouds surged with thunders of tearing strife,
splintered my dream dispersed in debris,
and I realized my heart couldn’t yearn enough.
