In A World Where I Do Not Exist
In the flushing garden path
we walked entranced,
the scarlet sun with the spectrum of dawn
held us within the sequins of sparkling sky.
You saw my heart contoured
in the crimson curves of cloud,
but not for very long,
for the rainstorm melted the sky,
I disappeared beyond the rainbow arch.
Over the waves of the desert dunes,
we trudged with rhythmic exuberance,
until I melted away like mirage.
You reached the verdant oasis,
sprawling with the pulse of my olive heart,
swept away by the desert storm
of yearning lost in opaque oblivion.
On the silver sands of the satin beach
we traced the entwined fervent footprints.
The rolling waves adorned
the pearly lattice on your lissom feet.
As the tide of time erased my trail,
you now walk with poignant impulse
through the miasma of cascading moonbeam
that has dissolved my nocturnal essence.
The dazzling dawn of desire veneers
your heart’s horizon with halcyon hues,
spreads the sunburst tinges
of my timeless longing for you,
you remember blushed aglow
your emotive epitome long time ago,
painted the panorama of golden garden
in your heart’s canvas,
blooming with the luster of lost love.
Wandering listless in the wasteland
of the waned memory of belonging,
your tear drops roll on the garden path,
wrapped with bronze leaves of the fall.
Their rustle echoes your songs for me,
long lost beyond the still shore of silence.
When in the seraphic spring
you’re embraced by euphoria,
you will never know
how much I miss your world
where I do not exist.
