Wish To Hold Again
In hushed strides silver threads tonight unfold again,
my longing on trampled soil to be rolled again.
Beneath maple leaves my silent flower shivers,
scarlet bed of withering dreams is cold again.
So numb my desires echo in hollowed umbra,
My wishes I fear might remain untold again.
Lonely lark from wilderness sings of my despair,
Blazing sparks simmer on snow being bold again.
Oh beloved! How oft have I waned crescent soul,
Your veil of molten stars I wish to hold again.
Dreams cuddled in beguile blossoms of aurora,
Await to relive their promises old again.
Fir-kissed caress of heartbeats over years apart,
Enchant siphoned silk silhouettes to mould again.
So bereft my memoirs leave no footprints on sand,
agony on alluring waves was sold again.
Celeste dances in nebula streams on sand dunes,
Graceful Aphrodite will I behold again?
Cynthia petals drape my hopes in banisters,
I pray my tender love grows manifold again.
