It's Called Love

When nothingness of a blank canvas
is smudged by glossy crayons of a child,
a messy picture chuckles in a new carnival.

When thoughts twinkle stargazing the sky
unfurling a drama in splendor of limerance, 
an enchanted soul chimes like a chandelier.

When fingers tingle in touch of embrace 
trembling underneath a virtual warm wrap
a fragile dream meanders, on dainty tendrils

 When a fresh shower arouses scent
 of a landscape lined in primrose and peony,  
 a luscious splash of rosewater permeates.
 
When daisies laugh in brightest yellow,
music sunbathing a vast green meadow
a melody in beats of que sera resonates.
  
When a dawn waiting beyond the horizon 
hangs the moon low, over the ocean,
a complex world , blurrs out of vision.

That scrambled emotion, has a beautiful name, they say it's called love.
You say "You're mine" a thousand  times and still never enough.

Congratulations Debjani for your honorable mention placement in the contest. There were so many fine poems entered. I love the poem up until the final two lines, I'd love to see the final two as strongly specific as the preceding lines but still very strong work, bravo
