The Sweetest Philtre
In the nectar of purple rose
my garden of Eden bloomed,
the catalyst of adoration
concocted to bewitch
your drifting heart,
flew like an entranced butterfly,
that turned to an amorous tapestry
enfolding in fervor you…desired.
The tempest of time
blew the floral dreams away,
effect of potent love potion
faded like twilight gleam
to the sharp edge of falling night,
the slices of slashed butterfly
lay strewn on incomplete collage of love,
frozen in the winter of despair…obscure.
In the sunburst dawn of spring
through the valley of rose
I’ll walk again my dreams to you,
with the elixir of ecstasy
I’ll make beguiled
for you the sweetest philtre,
so you become mine…forever.
