Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Charmed Happenstance

Vanishing vestige of dank cavernous lobes
   My lonesome forsaken heart adrift
      Under the most alluring midnight crescent moon
 
         Towards a horizon yonder daubed with 
            A loaded paintbrush of golden luminescence
               While levitating melodic whispers

                  Of charm and sorcery perchance connive
                     Mingling heavenward to set the stage 
                        For a divine encounter with a goddess
	
                        Her wafting cloud ever so sublimely hovers 
                     Peculiarly fine exotic spicy fragrance
                  Ensnaring my compliant heart

               By glorious happenstance
            Spellbound and mesmerized
         Flutters on the wings of dusk

      Reawakening a drowsing lust 
   Rekindling and resuscitating the passion
To a sublime apogee of celestial folly
