A Vision Evanescent
When the sun set, and night descended,
When the day with all its unrest quietly fled,
Feeling tired and sleepy, I closed the door
And languidly got onto my cozy bed.
At an unexpected time and hourof the night
You broke upon me as a euphonic melody
In the wee hours when I was in deep slumber
You barged into my thoughts as a sweet memory
Your voice trailed across to me
Waking me from my lethargic sleep
Sweeping my indolent languor away
Filling me with sensations deep
I felt the warmth of your tumultuous passion
The soft touch of your caring hands
The musky odor of your fragrant breath
And the gentleness in your adoring glance
You opened the windows to let in the light
Not leaving me grope in blinding night
You took me to the seas of shore less delight
And hovered over me like a heavenly sprite
You enlivened every atom of my being
Kindled in me the fire of desire
Swept me off my feet in inundating tides of love
Setting my sleeping passions into flames of fire
Alas, with my senses lulled to sleep
Leading me into a state of illusory calm
Through the window lying ajar
You faded out like an evanescent dream!
Again, when you come, stay longer with your charms
To gently wake up from sleep, enfolded in each other’s arms
