Its You In All But One

In the catalogue of my heart’s library
A word I scribe, magical and unitary

In the garden of my emotional culinary
I plant , I nurture, I prune a topiary

In the bouquet of my life’s choicest flowers
One adorable,I place above all the towers

In the album of my sweetest memories
One ‘s too dear to me than the treasuries 
   
In the atlas of maps of my mind 
A solo destination fruitful I find
 
In the orchestra of my life’s tunes
An enchanting melody to me allures

In the fleet of ships with my decisions ‘cargo
One to me is fair and free from embargo

In the chandelier of my life’s surprises
One thrilling to me hypnotizes

In the pool of my dreams and desires
One realized, lit up the bonfires

In the blend of the aroma that mystifies
One fragrance stands out with poise   

In the box of life’s tempting chocolates 
One trust-worthy tastes and melts with grace

In the cemetery, when life ends,I am laid to rest  
I wish, I pray that its me first and you be next!
