Dreams In Debris
The splendorous crown of my fervent heart,
twinkled with the tinsels of the cerulean night,
where your yearning gleamed with enticing tinge,
suffused with the sequins of the silver moon.
I tried to feel the swathing touch so tempting
of your intangible mesmeric charisma,
but you glided away out of my entranced sight
like the autumn cloud across my sky of dream.
In the verdant vale following my cascading heart,
I saw your footprints disappear in the wasteland,
beyond the turquoise trail of lingering longing,
as I walked on the deserted path going nowhere.
The remains of my love glowed in the wilderness,
I sensed enthralled in the core of my hopeful heart,
the last embrace of the amorous moon dust
drizzled with the fading patina of your grace.
From the ebony edge of the dense night of despair
storm clouds surged with thunders of tearing strife,
splintered the facade of the sky I call my heart,
where the shards of dream dispersed in the debris.
