Mohammad Taha Effendi Poet Rhyme

Ensnare My Heart

"Ensnare My Heart"

By M. Taha Effendi

(Ballad)

O beautiful maiden of my captive heart,
Are you not the lone bard's pompous muse?
With allure that inspired the divine art,
Heavens' hand made you with such delicate use,

What sweet circumstance upon me befalls,
My heart the endearing perfidy has plotted,
Entombed in my bosom, it beats to your calls,
Loves beyond reason the heart besotted,

Let my soul swoon at your eternal beauty awhile,
Mesmerize by sheer fineness of your chiseled cheek,
Beguile by crimson roses that adorn your seraphic smile,
Savor in you the beauty of which poets speak,

Your eyes are gleaming lagoons of preserved vintage,
Shades the cerulean ocean from their depths did lease,
The jealous eye of heaven envies your radiant visage,
The blushing moon embarrassed cowers beneath the seas,

Would you shelter me in your silken veil perchance?
That imbue elation in those who wander in its shade,
And sways to cadence of zephyrs in an eternal dance,
To invoke dark urges of soul with a sublime serenade,

Elizabeth Wesley November 6, 2011 at 2:24 PM I can almost feel myself sway to the cadence of this fascinating verse. It is erotic and sensuous in a most lovely way. I so enjoyed reading your wonderful poem.

Joy Wellington September 17, 2011 at 7:30 PM Wow!!! Such deep and enchanting words! Excellent write. Thanks for stopping by me and for your comments. My poem, "My Summer's Moment", is not so much about the season, as it is about "My season", my husband understands, that's why I dedicated it to him. One love. Jew@Smalling
