The splendorous firmament of my fervent heart sparkled with the stellar sequins of the silvery night, where your glamour gleamed with enticing tinge, suffused with the spangles of the mesmeric moon. I felt entranced the enchanting touch so tempting of the captivating aura of your intangible charisma, but you glided away out of my spellbound sphere like the autumn cloud across the sky of my dream. Down the cascading crescendo of my rhythmic heart, sense of your presence faded in my obsessed essence beyond the turquoise trail of lingering longing, as I wandered chasing the alluring mirage going nowhere. From the ebony edge of the onyx night of despair, storm clouds surged with thunders of tearing strife, splintered my sky once an epitome of adoring fantasy, the slivers of dream piled up in the debris of yearning. The transient trajectory flame of the devoured desire furrowed in my mind a blazing trail of craving, I wished to trace in the track of a sensuous meteorite, even if it was fleeting away like the flicker of your love. As I slept at the desolate edge of the lonely night, I saw you become a shining star in my dream sky, shimmered for a while and disappeared forever, for, I felt I didn’t dream enough, a sad surprise.
