Entwining Ripples of Rhapsody

The desolate wasteland of deprivation traversed 
by my jagged life that tried so long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the serrated mind, 
swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation. 

Sucked into sordid abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself a path of passion within, 
leading through the pulsating portal to my heart, 
not yet frozen in the prolonged winter of despair. 

The spring of yearning came with fragrance of fervor, 
drifting on the dreamful wings of the sensuous time,  
from the flowers of my blooming heart where you flew 
like a butterfly creating cadence of surreal symphony. 

Harmonized with the mesmeric music of my longing, 
enthralled emotions danced on the ripples of rhapsody 
that rolled between you and me to entwine us forever, 
consecrated the concept of concealed craving called love. 

You let it bloom with the floral design of fervent desire,
the patina of silky petals would shine till the end of time.
