Posy Of Passion


the nomad in me wanders 
                            a i m l e s s
in the labyrinthine wasteland 
of the denuded life, 
                            d e s o l a t e
the sinuous dusty track 
takes me ambling
                            f o r l o r n
to an ambiguous terrain 
of obscure nowhere 

my soul’s sensual lattice
                            e n t r a n c e d
migrates mystified
                            e n t a n g l e d 
in the encircling web 
of enigmatic conundrum 
asks bemused
          shall I escape
from the deranged decay of delirium
           or
shall I be the embedded in enigma
                             e t e r n a l
          I couldn’t decide 

the ingrained imprint
of possessed obsession 
                            i n d e l i b l e 
of the obdurate persona 
tracing the tortuous track 
of the weaving wheel 
of the demanding time
          winds on its own 
out of the tormenting tangle 
of the remembrance maze 
of the pining past 
transfixed in the halcyon horizon
as the menagerie of memory
                             f r a m e d

steered with the promise 
of pervading pride 
my beleaguered mind 
migrates out of the warren
shows me the pathway 
to the fervent fountain 
of the euphoric future
                              f i g u r a t i v e
  
with the beat of my heart
           I break resolute                                                                         
the invisible blatant barrier
                              i m p e r v i o u s
you’ve built insolent 
with the skeleton of seclusion    
around the secret garden
shrouded by the arctic mist
of mind’s fluid feelings
                              f r o z e n 

as the baroque buds
supine on supple saplings
waiting for the sapphire spring
line your garnet garden path
            I saunter there 
suffused sensually  
with the seraphic shine 
of the sunburst new dawn
            I intuitively wish
before I walk the last mile 
our paths will cross someday
in the valley of flowers
            entwine eternally
to metamorphose  
into posy of passion
                               e p i t o m i z e d
