Latent Desires

A world of illusions procreates blinking sustained delusions existence shivering in probabilities memories afloat in traces astray If only I were a meteor I'd cross those barriers to merge their essence for you.. Surviving beliefs proclaim strengths astounding errors of hurled conquests a seed of faith cocoons itself in hazy blue dreams If only I were a blissful rainbow I'd splash hopeful colours melting through the breeze for you.. Dark hallucinations evaporate shrines of intuition exasperate realities hinder imaginations locking invisible worlds in mist If only I were a feather in clouds I'd wipe the dust of charades sweeping showers of love for you.. Mortal moments stride along paranoia of wanderer remains wondering if forever sustains a light to caress tender heart If only I were a pious rivulet I'd wash away those scars in flow gleaming reborn leaves for you.. Superfluous battles of anxieties pointing ancient spears of malady shattering trust of naivety masked crowds leading to agony If only I were a lighthouse I'd guide your fears in storms projecting lucid emotions for you.. Sometimes I wonder if I really belong to a world lost in speculations If only I were a nurtured moment If only I were a frivolous feeling If only I were an eternal story I'd orchestrate a timeless journey mesmerizing parallel universes for you.. My love I am just a heart striving to breathe in reality scattered along my latent desires all I am is a scintillating memory tapping your silence in whispers to hold you in my arms maybe..

Reading you is always a delight to my poetic sensibilities and an inspiring learning experience, Aditi. I just adore your formatting with consistent 7-line stanzas and lines 5 & 6 repeating the "If I... I'd" motif. More subtly, the parallels between lines 1 & 3 "procreates/existence", "beliefs/faith", "hallucinations/imaginations", "mortal/forever". It's like looking at a brilliant painting and finding a thousand things to enjoy. Exquisite poetry, my friend. A fave and anticipated winner ~ John
