Fortuitous Fantasy


The wheels of time rolled on our lavish landscape, 
many springs swarmed in, but soon disappeared. 
Ardent zeal lined silver streaks on the satin clouds, 
not for long, for the rainstorm surged them away. 

My yearning glided beyond the eroded banks
of the subterranean stream within your eyes.
A lucky strike of lightning illuminated its course
I could never have been able to decipher.

As I wandered on the wings of coincidental reverie,
in a trance I saw you adorned by filigree of patina. 
The flower of my yearning I felt embellished 
with the glow of rekindled luminous passion.

I drifted in the domain of the fortuitous fantasy, 
sparkled in the sapphire sky like a shooting star,
the sequins soaking the petals of your pristine rose
as dewdrops radiating my heart’s fervent hue.

In the ethereal grandeur of resurgence I sensed 
the revived essence exuding the feeling of bliss, 
while the lattice of ornate ecstasy embellished 
my resurrected being with flamboyant fervor.
