Femme Fatale
In my bejeweled night sky gleaming seamless,
you glitter like the glowing full moon,
I soar in stardust on the wings of yearning
to get suffused with your sapphire hue.
In the rhythmic rhapsody of enticing wind,
the feathers of my fervent longing
flutter enthralled by the moonbeam of passion
within your halcyon halo mesmeric.
You make within my heart’s firmament
a turquoise pathway to glide away
across my somber sky as it crumbles and plunges
into a dark abyss filled with debris of despair.
In surging storm the sands of time blow ordained
in the parched desert of stark desolation,
the dunes of desire collapse disintegrated
in the cauldron of the crumpled heart.
As the cloud of gloom melts on the transit,
and fills my desiccated oasis with tears,
I see the radiance of the blue moon pale
emit the last charm of ensnaring femme fatale.
