Within the fragile frame of my fervent heart, tinged with the tinsels of the amorous night, my love gleamed with a gorgeous glow, draping the sequins of your enthralling elegance. In my psyche I felt the tempting tender caress of your intangible mesmeric charisma, but you sauntered away from my entranced sight like the autumn cloud across my dream sky. From the threshold of my desire reverie your footprints faded away beyond the twilight. With the turquoise thread of lingering longing, I weaved the filigree of fantasy in my dream. From the ebony edge of the night of despair storm clouds surged with thunder of tearing strife, destructed my dream, dispersed in the debris, as my lost love turned into a fierce whirlwind. I heard the squelch of the submerging sorrow swathing stealthily my broken heart, resonating the deranged lilt of indigo pulsation with the splitting echo from the sensory strata. The soft touches of your departing kiss turned into lashes of desert storm as I drifted across the dunes of deprivation with shifting sands of time designing myriad illusion. In the mirage flashing in your eyes I saw my demolition.
