BREATHLESS

     As you voiced three syllables,
      sufficiently capable 
      to reach me seven heavens at once,
      making my heartbeats to dance and prance !
       
      Rapid pulsation rippling on crest of passion: 
      First verbal interaction from silent admiration. 
       Eternal time took pause on emerald emotion.

     On that auspicious moment
      my dormant desires achieved fulfilment.
       I held my breath turning breathless.
        With best bliss of my life I was blessed.

         My ardent ardour glowed in glory and grace.
        Yet sudden separation I had to face
         at one corner of my path.
        Meaningless life to drag on earth !
   
        My heartbeats to run as I'm taking breath -
        being always ready to welcome death.
