Plagued By Memories


In the splendorous sapphire space of my pristine heart, 
shimmering in the sanctified radiance of the indigo night,
you gleamed like seraphic sequins of argentine moondust, 
making me feel fascinated as I sensed your cerulean sheen.

My heart morphed into a mesmeric turquoise lake,  
where the rose petals flying from my garden floated 
with the reflection of the facsimile of your floral face.   
My soaring spirit engraved the beauty of heavenly intuition.

My heart swathed by the silver streaks of stardust sparkle,
pulsated at its crescendo with the concerto of ecstasy, 
where the beauty of your enticing ballet I saw imaged.  
Suffused with moonshine my mind mirrored your charm.

My mind became resplendent replica of memory montage,
as the platonic pattern of heavenly love’s perception   
configured the enticement image in kaleidoscopic collage. 
where the unsoiled mirror of my heart reflected your beauty.

My yearning blazed in the inferno of your essence,
with the winged blizzard of winter the flame flew away,
turning the mind to extinguished  embers of afflicted past,
piling up in debris of remembrance, swathed by gloomy ash.

On the weary wings of the winter of dire discontent, 
wafting in wilderness on the polar winds of despair
the wilted leaves of my languishing longing 
blew away rustling into the obscure realm of nowhere.

My yearning turned into glacial embrace of aggravation,
you flew away from the congealed fold of beleaguered love. 
Forsaken in the freezing darkness of the arctic nest, 
I live with the frozen feather you left in my plagued memories.

Dear Subimal, your "memory montage" (beautiful..) is filled with emotive and evocative imagery that stirs the heart and sears the soul. Your beautiful use of language and poetic devices produced a poetic work that is deep, moving and vibrant with sensory imagery that brings one to the center of the "obscure realm of nowhere" -wow! Congratulations for your success in Ink's contest. Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan

Dear SSR, This is one of my fave poems written by you, as i deeply felt emotions in your word weaving while also youv used poetic techniques and played around with words, in such an eloquent manner: the evocative nature of this poem is truly soul stirring and i felt especially the opening as well as how you've written "Forsaken in the freezing darkness of the arctic nest, I live with the frozen feather you left in my plagued memories." something i wish i had written, so touching and poignant, congratulations on your placement in my contest. This was a hard contest to judge as theres too many faves like this one. Thank you for sharing
