When Dreams and Reality Rhyme

Real as a ruby dawn twinkling on morning dew Tiptoeing in splendorous view, enticing anew Golden smile of sun sparkling on skyline blue, An imprint of my love, so beauteous and true This moment that woos, this moment’s all you. Let me save it from vagrant vagaries of mind, Protect it from withering in seasons unkind, Treasuring benevolence its eloquence defined This moment of mine at the peak of its prime Let me grab it before it takes the shape of time. When its journey on wings of love had just begun Oh! how seductively its tender passions spun Clues of romance from rhythms of your heart Rejoicing musings our indulgent souls impart Imploring fondly to never let this moment depart. Dwell not in the yesteryears that passed us by, Let the halo of its aura revive gleam in your eyes Enticing you to be mine, this moment is sublime, Oh, how in its realm, dreams and reality rhyme! Let me grab it before it takes the shape of time.
