Perception of Love

I walked in the wilderness of winter Across the wasteland of despair Reached the sunshine shore of your heart Lapped by the warm azure sea of fervor Descried the alluring pearly waves of longing Yearning to surf I waited for so long. That was where I discovered the niche of love Unveiled from the swathe of anonymity. I followed the tantalizing silver track Draped by mesmeric moonshine Until the dreamy dawn blossomed On the sunburst hued horizon The golden rays glinted the opalescent dew That shined in the meadow of your heart. That was when I found the flower of love Petals sparkling with shimmer sublime. We walked together in the garden path You made me feel the ardent adoration Create timeless symphony of longing Echoing as fervent music in my heart The melody resonated in my essence With the rhythm of lingering emotion. That was why I felt the sense of love Endure in the eternity with sanguinity. Like an ebullient stream you cascaded In the landscape of my beguiled time Carried my dreams with the surge of lure Through the valley of luxuriant liveliness To lie fulfilled in the pristine bay of bliss Under the radiant seamless sky of belonging. That was how I perceived the spirit of love Permeate the heart with adulating purity. ______________ August 22, 2022 Contest : The Meaning Of Love Sponsored by : Anoucheka Gangabissoon
