Vision

At this dawn of "bon voyage", 
after million escapades of 
blindfolded fate, I'm trespassing
through the pirouetting pigments 
of fading frolics and 
windsurfing towards rose-oiled 
beams of glossy sun as its 
gossamer grandiose has 
finally enveloped my soul in 
sheath of marigold musings 
and sceneries of sunflower 
reveries where the dew makes 
pencilled-promises of green and gold. 

I have subconsciously 
swathed my versatile vision 
with serenity that snorkels
between seraphic 'C'est la vie'
threads of timeless marine tulips, 
connecting cosmic dots of the 
ornamented universe where 
Pluto's philanthropic sights are  
sequined as savoir vivre along the 
dwarfed faith in my heart. 
I now glide in buoyant embers 
of scintillating space, passing by
blue brothers- Uranus and Neptune, 
swinging on shiny rings of Saturn
and swirling in giant beige-brown 
storms within Jupiter's merlot belts. 
Mars greets me with a 
dusky red wave, as I surf towards 
venus' pearly white muse and 
mellifluous ashes of slate grey 
mercury, whilst immersing my 
swan-sung hymns within 
earth's ornate atmosphere painted
with beguiling azure, emerald jewels 
and milky foam. 

Similar as, sunshine sneaks into the
dove-white raindrops, sprinkling 
phosphenes of internal reflection and 
dispersing in chiffon hues of vibgyor;
Dipped in lavender cinders, I refract 
seven shades of wildflowers within 
my sienna spectrum and reflect pastel 
strips of an ascending snowbird, 
rising above the beaches embalmed 
in crimson, flying across skies scattered 
with roseate rust of the past and 
arcing along the linen horizon, as 
smoked carbon coated lenses of my 
eyes neither hide these burgundy truths 
wrapped in bittersweet buttercups nor 
those lichen lies nestle in my sparkling ribs anymore. 

My skull glows with whipped starlight 
that no longer twirls in raven dance 
of gloomy ballads as obsidian 
silhouettes etched in silver mists 
don't haunt me with their heinous intentions 
of unseen reflections anymore, for, 
thick iced flakes of frozen hours are 
fading away in the brisk of amiable rays 
and I'm reborn in helianthus fields. 

So, if you believe to dwell 
in dreamcatcher visions of 
life's trajectories, 
a twinkling tunnel towards 
the North star eternally 
coruscates as an eden 
of fireflies above the crystal 
creek and portrays that there's 
always more hovering 
beneath the celadon surface 
of synthetic smiles if you 
wish to seek beyond the 
lavish lakes of polished peril.
