Letter To Rhapsodical Rose


Here, I scribble a letter 
to the rhapsodical rose, 
dipping my quill in 
stardust that slips 
like a violet waterfall 
from the tips of 
white oak trees. 
These marigold 
orbs shine with 
shimmering streaks 
of sugar coated mist, 
as I twist my palm 
and breathe in 
the lavender light 
of kismet, while 
tender tulips 
soothingly sleep 
upon the sweet seeds 
of nostalgia. 

O Mi Amour, 
our lambent love 
is but a succulent 
sea full of stars, 
where buttercup boats 
sail in emerald 
evanescence and 
gentle lulls of 
champagne waves 
kiss those scarlet 
shells of secrets, 
echoing with 
vibrant whale-songs. 

Can you feel the 
mulberry bluebells 
chiming as I glide 
on pistachio 
plateau of promises? 
Am I your soulful dynasty, 
just as you are my 
star-spun Prince 
descended from the eden, 
my healer from 
charismatic realms and 
my last lachrymose wish? 

You're a museum 
of art for the 
moon-shaped chimera 
of peonies painted 
with hazel silk 
and this chameleon 
danger holds no 
manifestation in 
our foreign folklore, 
because when 
the last dewdrops 
dance with sunlight, 
holographic memories 
of 'You and I', 
will forever
remain alive in 
the tamarind tales of 
watercolor wildflowers. 

So, when the 
jinxed icicles cut 
me with their 
silver sword, 
spring shivers 
in snowy meadows 
and the sun sets 
along the horizon
of our ruffled story, 
you'll always 
hear these husky 
notes of my 
exotic scents 
lingering in ivy 
laced rains and 
falling upon the 
graffiti of your 
ruby bones. 

You'll eternally hear 
celestial serenades, 
singing in raspberry 
language of our 
incensed love which 
will erase the
acetone sadness 
of my unwritten absence 
and those crimson 
ribbons of violin's ode 
will spin our saga 
around those 
slaty branches 
of bitter destiny.
