Incarnate
Your flushing face winsome in the wild wind,
the ebony strands of hair insolent, flutter unbridled.
Some swirl squally, threading the gushing gale,
on the ivory forehead their lattice captures my yearning.
The sculpted window panes of the hazel eyes unclosed,
flutter like the flamboyant wings of beguiled butterfly.
Onyx eyelashes line the lissome lids of the eyes,
shelter the dreams in the seamless sapphire sea,
The lilac patina of the luscious lips pursed lissome,
embraces the entrapped silence of latent longing,
carve on your face the contours of cute enticement,
rippling on the pristine petals of florid smile I see frozen.
The resplendent supple cheeks subtly caressed
by the serenading zephyr suffused with vermillion blush,
incandescent in the aurora of the sunburst sequined sky,
I engrave in my enthralled heart your inimitable image.
There I see you glide like a fascinating indigo fairy,
draped in the mesmeric trance of sapphire splendor.
I strive to fathom the profundity of your demure dimension
in the oceanic depth of infinite mystery of opulent charisma.
Soaking the charming shades of your sensuous elegance,
I reach the enchanted edge of expansive imagination,
where in the craving chromatic canvas of my halcyon heart,
in hues of possessed passion I see you as beauty incarnate.
