The Sonata of Love
Through the desert of forlorn life I travelled
carrying the burning hunger in my void heart
and the unsatiated thirst in desiccated mind.
Surrendering to the vehemence of its lure I chased
a mirage in the searing middle of desolate nowhere,
got lost in the despondent dunes of disquietude
thinking my destiny wasn’t worthy of veneration
for it didn’t instill in me the feeling of reverence
for the heavenly emotion so dearly called love
that remained unreachable perpetual illusion…
Until at the edge of hope I reached a verdant oasis
flooded by the silver glow of the full moon shine
where I found you glittering as designed fairy spark.
You became the star in my sky of fervidness and
your sparkling effervescence made wings for me,
I flew in the winds of amorousness to your arms.
As we lay drenched in cerulean shower of stardust
I extracted a block from my expressive heart,
carved out ornate words of love to sculpt a lyric.
The cadence of your ardent whisper set the melody
and that became the sonata of our love.
