"L o v e lives
in the archaic abyss of an
endless ocean, where wind and waves
rhyme with the blues in scented stillness"
As echoes of the silent shore reveal secrets~
buried in the deep-blue spine of the
creased, cold sea, I search for lyrical cues,
dreaming on the lurid lips of a salt-kissed
enigma, painted with bliss-strokes of sunset eyes.
For sometimes, when time tricks euphoric twilight with
greed, amidst the quiescence that hydrates this
healing soul, I find myself drifting to a mythical valley of
iridescent violets, floating like glistening
jewels seized from the warm arms of skylines. As,
kismet stars sprinkle golden tears upon pages that
left me comfortably rhymeless, breathing in
metaphors of memories lost in frozen mists,
nestling within hushed songs of the mourning bluebirds…
O beloved moon, swirl with me to a rosier phase~
perfumed with Aphrodite’s elegance,
quenched with spring allure of Ades’ petals;
reverie of timeless rivers
streaming with heartbeats of twin flames,
tied to an amethyst ambience,
unraveling a cosmic connection
veiled in vanilla orchids…and
when the music of the ocean ricochets into
xylophone chimes and nostalgic notes,
you’ll remember me as your ballad, forever sealed in,
zestful conch shells, until the sun no longer tastes my poetic pulse…
