Indulgent Fervor
Free verse : Indulgence
The sunburst dawn’s flaming film
flushed your flamboyant face,
as the horizon turned to golden fresco
in my dew crowned meadow,
you flittered like a butterfly,
my yearning got poised on frozen time.
Before you could fly away far
with the fragrance of my fervor,
leaving me in the debris of ecstasy,
I suffused my heart serenely sensitive
with the ether of your enticing lure,
flowing from the fringe of your eyes.
My heart turned into swirling cloud clump,
in the gale of desire it drifted in depression
through the arch of the transient rainbow,
where the dreams melted in cascade of colors.
For the lasting longing to fly in your lilting sky,
I would wait entranced till the end of time.
That’s when the storm of agony would abate,
and I would find you beguiled once again,
across the horizon enclosed in eternal bliss,
swathing sensual sheen on your essence,
I would see it morph into a mesmeric sea.
In its enthralling depth of stillness I would sink.
Rhyme : Indulgence
When in the hued horizon the scarlet sun rose,
I saw you flash across my dew latticed meadow’s brace.
Chromatic glare of dawn flushed your satin face,
in the flow of time the ripples of my moments froze.
The glint of your seraphic eyes glistened on me,
filled the void of my yearning where your grace lay.
Like a spritely butterfly you could fly far away,
leaving me in the debris of crumbled ecstasy.
On the wings of desire my heart soared up high,
floated across the silver-lined clouds of dismay.
Dreams behind portals of rainbow I would portray,
when my yearning would fly in your sapphire sky.
Whenever I would plunge in the deep abyss of blue,
the fleeting glow of your face I would seek to view.
Through the grey haze of despair it would take me to
the sunburst horizon where I would surely find you.
