A Poem For You

Unfaded colors of years enwrap you with grace, like a leaf tinged by twilight you glow on birthday. I float on reverie, encircling you on wings of zephyr, I write this pulsating poem of heart just for you. As we soak the glimmer of the emerald meadow, you become the pristine patina of the dainty dawn. Even in twilight hour the golden day doesn’t end, for in my sky you’re the sanguine sun that never sets. While the flowers wither in my autumn garden, in you I see the blossoms of the everlasting spring, where my yearning flitters like the beguiled butterfly around your floral charisma that never wanes. In the voyage across the tempestuous sea of life, I don’t lose course sailing to the shore of longing. I shall reach its silver beach lapped by waves of joy, for you’re my alluring pole star that never strays. In the desiccated desert over the dunes of despair my satiated heart doesn’t chase the mirage of fervor, for my soul has found the fountain of flowing bliss in the delightful oasis that you’ve become for me.
