Serene Meadow

***********************
On that obsidian night,
I found your flawless face,
echoing with illuminated breaths
and hushed whispers from Mulberry Trees
The sunset swan song lingers.
in a warm twilight embrace.
Springtime ushers in butterflies,
dancing in a garden of flowers.
The gentle breeze serves as music,
and they flutter about for hours.
Each butterfly dons its finest attire,
softly adorned by
the petals they cherish.
Their movements are a ballet in the air
adding beauty to the garden,
a delightful sight so rare.
Threads of turmoil
dance across a colorful sky.
Glimmering gazes gather,
grinning at the edges with grace.
From waves of sorrow to deep love,
Break free and soar high.
Graceful transience
crossed my path,
your porcelain pout
spoke profound truths.
I shuddered, sobbing and shrieking.
The tattered threads tore apart.
As we breathe in gentle impermanence,
We draw sunlight with our breaths.
A fractured mind finds restoration.
as resilience blooms from the foundation.
Carefree smiles, now bear marks,
dimples etched by time hand,
and a final stretch carved
in a meadow so serene.
The gravel path beneath our feet,
worn and rugged through the years,
bears witness to fading sparkles
as daylight slowly slips away.
Lucent lanterns of fireflies
flicker upon ebony stems,
scarlet petals soaked
in the soft morning mist.
My fist of frustration.
clutched self-sabotaging shadows,
resilience radiates through
rooted in steadfast resolve.
Ebony stalks with olive leaves
Hold scarlet blossoms high.
Desperation grasp weakens,
releasing doubts into the soft azure sky.
The sultry sun sinks behind it.
racing storm-filled clouds,
reflecting life’s ever-shifting
kaleidoscope—our trials laid bare.
We craft unframed dreams.
from a hidden lattice unseen,
built on unwavering hope
where despair has often lingered.
Sacred truths uphold
support amid the sunset’s glare,
embracing complexities —
Love's chaotic dance is laid bare.
