Emotive Eloquence Of Silence


Enchanted by the mirage of florid ecstasy, 
the flower in my desiccated heart blossomed
when your charisma drizzled on me 
like the soothing rare summer rain of oasis.

The flame of my heart was stoked 
by the breeze of the yearning spring.
Flaring beauty of glowing fresco flashed 
on the beguiled blushing face of desire. 

The wilted petals were dislodged  
by the destructive dust storm of desertion.
The split flower saw the dreams in debris, 
its shriek was lost in the quietude of desert.

As you drifted away from my stormy horizon, 
thunder of torment ripped my forsaken flower. 
The broken heart suffering mute pain I protected 
for you to hear silence speak in emotive eloquence.
