In the Fragility of Dreams

When roses proffer prickly thorns
And wilted flowers deliberately mock
Forlorn garden of my passions torn,

When winds of love are gusting cold
As night invokes banished woes
And horrid storm wrecks my coast
And tides turn wild to sink my boat
As heart aches in beats lovelorn,
To touch my soul, you come along.

Beautiful you’re beyond my dreams--
Brown eyes beaming bold appeal,
A dimple adorns blushing cheeks
Gleaming style of radiant smile,
Just as I had imagined you would be.

How splendorous is your royal abode!
Where rare jewels glint arched entrance
Greeting me gently into your mahal--
Imperial charm of intricate patterns
Woven in petals of heavenly fragrance.

“This is our place,” longingly you say
Hanging our portraits on walls of grace,
Mementos of desires are already there
Toasting rendezvous of love ornate.

And happily I stay there in your embrace
In the fragility of dreams utopia creates.
