When You Are Gone


Inspired by Glenn Hughes song "Why don't you stay"


The sparkling dawn veneers 
my heart’s horizon with hues,
spreads the sunburst tinges 
of my timeless yearning,
paints gold garden in heart’s canvas, 
blooming with luster of my love,	
unfurls the unfaded facsimile 
of your astral floral face, I adore. 

As the patina of radiant roses 
flushes your cherubic cheeks,
glitters with seraphic grandeur 
of resplendent pearls of dew,
rhapsody radiates relentlessly
in mesmeric meadow of my mind.
Your remote heart becomes mine, 
in the ether of euphoria, I float.

The moist meadow of my mind dries, 
parched passion cloud doesn’t float. 
Let your receding mystique shadow 
enwrap my morose heart with hope.
My halcyon horizon will wait 
for the southern wind to waft, 
bring from the smoky sky of longing 
your charismatic clouds to me. 
With the surge of emotive rainstorm 
my desire in deserted mind will blow. 

In the vivacious vale of my heart, 
configured by contours of your charm,
as I carve an ardent conduit 
of earnest yearning to reach you,
the fervent cloud of my craving 
melts in a torrent of emotion,
makes my lingering love for you
a cascading stream where I swim. 

Flowing in the captivating current 
of your magnetic attraction,  
my possessed passion sails 
to the moonlit bay of bliss,	
where your elfin image embroiders 
the constellation of stars in my sky. 
In my sanguine heart the stellar shine 
of the enthralling sequins I preserve.

Wandering listless in wasteland 
of the waning memory of longing,
my tear drops roll on dismal path, 
I pave persistently anew for you.
I hear the enchanting echo of songs 
you used to sing for mesmerized me.
You will never know how much 
I miss you when you are gone.
