Mystique Beach


Relentless yearning colors unrestrained
the spectral edge of the halcyon horizon,
where the nascent scarlet sun unveils 
the fervent facade of the decorous dawn,
bringing to me across the million miles
the seraphic sparkle of the sapphire sea, 
shining with the tinge of azure allure.

I stand whelmed at the finite fringe 
of the primal vastness of the aquatic vista
as its timeless vigor tosses ceaseless
on the crests of the swelling waves,
adorning the beach with pearly garlands. 

The silent spread of the silver sheet  
wraps your faint footprints in fluid embrace.
As the melancholic waves intone incessant 
in the moonbeam ballet of the blue night, 
I search in cobalt obscurity for my mermaid, 
floating away along the stardust trail,
setting sail on the serenading winds 
to where my heart hovers on the sea shore.

As a rolling pebble flinging lonesome 
with the rhythm of the tides of time,
I’m submerged in the sea of sanguinity 
of the rapturous immensity of reverie.
Through the ardent frame of my fingers 
I don’t let the golden sands of longing slip,
I turn them into topaz on mystique beach,  
design a dainty diadem to embellish you.
