Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

My Horse

Down the gradient of meandering verdant valley
Draining down the dregs of the fading dusk
Beyond the threshold of the wild woods thick
My white stallion gallops in the emerald prairie.

Gossamer gloss sparkles on  the supple skin
Wisps of silky cloud swirl on the satin mane
Tossing on swinging waves of the south wind
The equine beauty canters out of my heart.

Bent blades of jade grass sway in sinuous ruffle
In sync with the rhythm of the bolting ivory grace 
The tilted hooves hover in the transfixed air
Panorama of motion captured in sublime silence.

Soaked in twilight glow we cross the last pasture
Floating on cascading spectrum of the setting sun
Beyond the glowing horizon of grandeur I see
The portal of heaven opens for my horse and me.
