Best Lacustrine Poems

In the pristine jade landscape
the terrain rolls undulating...
the panorama of pristine cadence,
on its entrenched earthen cradle
shaped for a serene lake…
sublimely supine sparkling,
the sapphire crystal face looks up
toward the cerulean sky...
mesmerized.

The gliding southern zephyr
whispers an enticing melody
to the dancing ripples…
intensely passionate concentric rhythm,
sliding on the slithering shadows of trees,
lining the contours of the lapping shore...
adorned.

The wavering lotus leaves float
on the vibration of pulsating fervor,
the full bloom scarlet flush of flower
makes the collage of a fiery tapestry
with the feathers of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the emerald waters in avian grace,
their supple napes swiveling
in arty show of aquatic ballet...
surreal.

In the hypnotic gleam of the setting sun
I watch the lacustrine opera…
enthralled.

In bejeweled jade landscape
the topaz terrain rolls
as wondrous waves,  
undulates with
sculpted panorama 
of captivating cadence,
entrenches in earthen frame
the sprawling shape 
of a placid lake,
sublimely sparkling,
the shining sapphire face 
looking up entranced
toward the cerulean sky,
spread serene on
boundless blankness.

The southern zephyr
whispers enticing melody
to the rhapsodic ripples,
rolling aquatic rhythm, 
intensely passionate,
stretching in seraphic span  
of self-centric array,
sliding on slithering shadows 
of the dancing trees,
lining the contorted contours
of the splashing shore,
emerald adorned.

Malachite lotus leaves 
float flamboyant
with pulsating fervor,
the ruby flush 
of full bloom
makes the collage 
of fiery fresco
with fanning feathers 
of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the lazuline waters 
in avian grace,
supple napes swiveling
in charismatic concerto 
of aquatic ballet,
rapturous recital
performed unruffled
in hypnotic gleam
of the setting sun,
chromatic spectrum
composes the sonata 
for lacustrine opera.

YOUR LACUSTRINE BEAUTY

In the wasteland the tormented life made me make
The repentance wander in the wild conceding the mistake
The nimbus clouds hovered overhead but I couldn’t take
The rains, they dried making a desert for me in the wake
Until you came, created an oasis where you became a lake.

You made in my deep depression torrents of fluid joy to flow
In your tranquil depths you drowned my deranged sorrow
The breeze on face made ripples of smile in a charming show
Flooded by sunshine my dancing reflection I see on you glow.

In your sensuous serenity you dissolve my somber sky’s blue
I see all the hues of my twilight colors gleam in glory on you 
Where the flight of ecstasy takes me then you don’t have clue.

If the drought of distress desiccates your desolate floor dry
My tears would flow to your core to fill you with love, I’d try.

For I don’t want to see the lacustrine beauty you ever lose.

When the squalls of tough times would give my life a shake
I’d sink within your placid water, still as the cosmos, below
Discover the bliss in me your aquatic touch would grow anew
On dreamy nights on the arms of your moonlit shore I’d lie
Drenched, I’d soak you deep within, keep in my heart close.

Lacustrine

The yearning is there
The temptation is strong
Should I take the chance
When I’m fully aware
Of that one breathless glance
I’m undecided and torn
Stricken by fear and longing
I see myself slip
The hunger has already been born
And I’m caught in the grip
Of your lacustrine eyes…

In bejeweled jade landscape
the topaz terrain rolls relentless
on wondrous waves,  
undulating with
the sculpted panorama 
of pristine cadence,
entrenches in earthen frame
the sprawling shape 
of a serene lake,
sublimely sparkling,
the sapphire shining face 
looking up
toward the cerulean sky,
       entranced.

The southern zephyr
whispers enticing melody
to the rhapsodic ripples
intensely passionate,
spread in seraphic span  
of self-suffusing rhythm,
slide on slithering shadows 
of the dancing trees,
lining the contorted contours
of the splashing shore,
       adorned.

Malachite lotus leaves 
float flamboyant
with pulsating fervor,
the ruby flush of full bloom
makes the collage 
of fiery fresco
with fanning feathers 
of flaming flamingos,
their ballerina legs wading
the emerald waters 
in avian grace,
supple napes swiveling
in charismatic concerto 
of aquatic ballet,
       surreal.

In the hypnotic gleam 
of the setting sun
I watch the lacustrine opera,
       captivating.
