Adorning the Shadow

The indelible image etched on my memory canvas,
the tide of time couldn’t tow to the obscure ocean. 	,
In its shimmering shore on the satin sands 
I engraved the lattice of my love for you.
The romantic spectrum of the sunburst sky’s fire
profiled the radiant facsimile of desire. 

Our harmonious hearts took the entwined shape,
joined by the charming thread of sublime sunray.
I couldn't release your luring hands,
and felt my exhilaration fervently flicker,
flashing on your face like the luster of twilight,
I was flushed with the flare of craving delight. 

You are gone where destiny has taken you, 
your shadow lingers in my longing threshold.
I sense the enduring aura of your yearning, 
like the argentine glow of the amorous moon.
I will never forget that night howsoever try I might,
as with stardust tinsels I adorn your shadow bright.
