Forevermore

A crepuscular theatrical serene speech prompt,
slip spill  in an echoey pattern down my soft skinned ear, 
as I was captivated by the gloss quilt luminance of,
glow worm  stars, silver moon tarpaulin, indigo horizon,
elysian sidereal dust that so magnetic trance,
I dwell on flawless antique navy blue tapestry,
of enthralling nocturnal mirth streamed murmur,
timelessness a slow tick second hand mesmerizer,
symbiotic solitude on moulded granite bench,
 whets intense yearning as my elevated odyssey,
where gilded gust a universal sage’s hint from,
invisible zone whose through the age enchantment,
forevermore a velvet hush, a lush chrysalis,                   
metamorphosis at a peek, diurnal cyclic mystery,
forevermore I am  an affluent lodger to telluric haven

     riddle  of the night
      unveils its lucid passage,
        beyond mortal span


Heaven within an effervescent  spiral steam moiety,
juxtaposed across emblazoned morning patch
immortal, 
of swooning sun whose rays bounce off garnet veins,
me, spectator, bard, curator of reflection for posterity,
this tantalised dawdler in a dewdrop leaf coppice,
majestic mountain summit under dawn spell, 
arousing passionate interwoven interface of cordial,
bonhomie link to merriment, auroral pathos, 
perpetual and beyond expansive firmament, 
romantic fingertip alignment in surreal fog tango,
where pounding heart oath infinite in salient scope, 
blue lagoon bounty, argent cascade, rainbow chaser,
dizzy upper echelon beauteous my twinkled torrent of delirium,
forevermore, longer longing, forever as this wonder world dervish,
waltzing through eternal mists, with my zest for life, 
as gold encrusted passport to a rapturous paradise

             daylight points the way 
                 to lasting beauty on earth
                   cherish the vista

Great Haiku within this haibun, Howard. The partial line, "Heaven within an effervescent spiral" made me think of some of the snapshots taken from space how that it seems like it effervesces. Sara K.
