Longing In Covert Crypt


The meadow of my mind 
dried desolate as the desert dune.
The mist of concealed passion 
suspended with mystique opacity 
in the sunk halcyon horizon, 
waited for the southern wind 
to surreptitiously blow 
from the fervent sparkling sky 
with your sequined charisma,
swathing the shades of my blue.

In the titular template of loneliness,
the secret motif of my longing
designed the lattice of desire, 
carved the furtive image of my heart,
the quivering willow in the wilderness.

The dormant dreams blazed in inferno;
I breathed the ashen memory smoke
afloat stealthily in the sky of vacuity.
The design of desolation intertwined  
the splinters of my desire icons,
flew on the trajectory of covert longing 
to the clandestine corral of anonymity,      
lay within the poignant crypt 
as the skeletons in the closet.
