What a riddle our love was!
we embarked on an ariose trip
with balmy stride, we undertook
Elysian and Empyreal it was

Amidst the rolling hills and verdant green,
Lies a land of arcane, almost Xanadu if seen.
A place of ariose where dreams are born,
And the sun rises each day as an auric crown.

In this Elysian land,...

Awed by the hypnotic sound and melody
of your gold-toned harmony

requested a single flower

as a memento of
your lyrical mysticism

yet, you brought on a tide of bliss
melodious birdsong, peaceful psalms
in an exquisite tangerine blush shade

speckled beauty adorns the stems
dazzlingly, in a blaze of golden splendor
blossom delightfully

lulled by...

Shimmering swaths
of cerulean sea
ionize comely light
purple-tinged sand
strewn with tattered shells
during low tide,
summon imperial thrones,
tartly lovely youth
amid sparkling Tyrian swells,
whilst peering 
solace amid 
vibrant splendor 
of landscape, 
as serene slopes 
and lucid pleas prevail, 
I...

Through luster sight from the window, I grasp,
an insight into hidden yearns and dreams
glimpse of arcane hush, and ariose clasp
Where the poise of nature's harmony gleams. 
The light softly embraces the lush green
birds sing in sync, such as a heaven choir,
flowers sway in the breeze, yield...

Summer's sunshine tingles the lavender bloom.
It bestows an idyllic and aureate mood in the room.
A serene spa as fears vanish and...

Meeting her will drown me with her love,
It will express pride and bliss from above.
Her glance involved an ambivalent dream,
Her smile is ambrosian whenever we...

In a world of mellifluous dreams,
Where whispers embrace in soft moonbeams,
A moiety of verses, murmuring in rhyme,
Revealing the secrets of an arcane time

Nemesis, the muse, with susurrous breath,
Weaving tales of love and death,
Her voice, a sigh, a melancholy strain,
As she plucks the strings with a...

Forge forth from force, never from forgiveness,
Don't fumble with the frame of your future.
With veils of past sins, allow some liveness,

For centuries of ancient thought
cosmic harmonies have been sought
in the vast eternal motion
of the grand galactic ocean.

To some the twinkling sky inspires
poems about celestial choirs.
But if those serenades occur
it’s just as if they never were,
since sounds of stars cannot be heard
‘tis said, not even by...

Walk with me,
I will guide you onto the moon;
And I will tell you who elucidates the darkness
Walk with me,
I will lead you into aesthetic blossom's patch;
And I will tell you who is the most adorable
Walk with me,
I will reach you to the Lucinia Megarhynchos;
And I...

Sunlight morphs into the elixir moonlight
dusk wearing a sequined black silken shawl.
And the daylight truckled the way to twilight,
for embracing the shadows, captivating all.
Nightingale heralding serenades to usher night.

A soothing symphony of cynosure sway,
Empyreal cerulean sun, fanned by the moon.
Finding riddles while gently a lissome display,
haphazardly...
