Title chosen Confronting Shadows
__________________________________________________________

With the romantic spectrum of sunburst sky’s fire I profile the radiant rendering of my blazing desire, where our harmonious hearts are entwined, sutured by the enticing threads of sublime fondness. I couldn't release then your alluring hands, for I felt my ebullient exhilaration fervently flicker, flashing on your face like the luster of twilight, I got flushed with the flare of craving delight. You are gone where the destiny has taken you, your shadow lingers on in my longing threshold. I sense the enduring aura of your yearning, like the argentine glow of the amorous moon. The sky now shimmers with the last glorious gleam of the waning moon at the edge of the indigo night, that I can’t ever forget howsoever I may try, for with stardust sequins I’ve adorned your shadow. Its cascading cadence I perceive caress your face with the turquoise touch of sensuous splendor, I carry crimped in the pining pulsation of my heart as the seraphic shadow of our togetherness. I haven’t counted the steps we’ve walked side by side on the sliding sands spread on the shore of time, but the frilled footprints I feel facsimiled in my mind, where I face the serene shadow of eternity. As the untamed winds of desire drift away the mystique mist of opaque obscurity, the pearlescent streams of amorous sunshine surge with the mesmeric momentum of fiery fervor. It drapes your eyes with the tapestry of trance, where I find in the azure firmament of yearning. My fervent longing sparkles enthralled as a lonely star in the gilded shadow of gold-lined cloud of passion. My loneliness finds wings in the seamless sky, flies in the beguiling breeze of reminiscence toward the fading end of our twilight zone, where I confront your shadows stilled in silence.
