Flows fountain of delight,
enwraps the parched spirit.
Drink glee philtre sated,
leap dazed with fulfillment.
Charm dreams show
slow motion
scenes you know
owe your joy
when stars glow.

" Summer's my favorite, I suppose. I am not looking forward to Fall at all"
The Poet.
Summer, my favorite perhaps.
Foam squishes between all my toes.
Feet tingle, warm sand, water laps.
Summer, my favorite perhaps.
The beach in summer, heat enwraps.
Summer half over soon it goes.
Summer, my favorite perhaps.
Foam squishes between all my toes.

Within the first slivers of platinum moonlight, fireflies flicker.
Diamond dust from a bygone comet streaks by, piercing electric skies,
whilst a balmy August twilight enwraps an aging porch.
The gleam of a single candelabra casts light upon
harlequin-green ivy that tangles around worn banisters,
while primroses grow through cracks in the weathered stairs.
Creaking tones of oaken rocking chairs serenade hushed crickets.
Silhouettes of frolicking barn owls coruscate,
as the aroma of fresh peach pie floats along, synchronizing with the zephyrs.
Nostalgia-infused memories materialize, then vaporize like morning dew.
Your resounding laughter gets swept away,
like a swift current pulling transient sands of time with it.
Ephemeral remembrances are all I have of you now—
momentary glimpses through the Wheel of Time's mirror,
for it’s just the summer breeze rocking your vacant chair to and fro.

Dawn lifts ebon shroud from curved silky sky,
drizzle of sunburst spectrum has begun,
painting the meadow where pearls of dew lie.
Dance of hue starts under shimmering sun.
Cosmic tinsels descend to flush your face,
you feel in your heart my sequined love flow.
Cascade of colors enwraps you with grace,
like a rose drenched by twilight tinge you glow.
The first sunbeam splashes dream dust on me,
I float on reverie through bright day new,
reach you on wings of beguiled breeze, you’ll see,
I write a romantic sonnet for you.
Amorous streaks of dawn begin to fly
with lyrical rhythm of love in my sky.

Beneath the knots of time hidden in fallen planks,
Feet dangle, shattered by the shadow of oblivion.
Through an eyebrow of sun clothed in pollen and decline,
A hand strikes a bargain to see how light spins a new face,
A shadow play mimicking that all is sublime—
Will the morning be born with another chance at rebirth?
Deep are the marks of denial that weigh down my efforts,
In the tomb of night's silence, I find myself a fortress.
Abandoned in thought to rise from the prayer of the evening,
I reject the bitter pulp of disillusionment that poisons my palace,
Love has left me with yellowed skin, a testament of solitude.
Moved by the peace of the darkness that enwraps the blinded sky;
A queen in a black onyx gown with a crown on display.
Cleansing my strength through the weakness revealed,
I regain elegance through the Spirit Father — I felt you guiding me in the night.
The cool balm of twilight for my scorched wounds,
You witnessed my ascent towards dawn;
Rising above the fissures of insanity,
It is as you said it would be—I am alive,
Enriched by the supreme gift of existence.

A magnetic fairy with elfin smile,
Captures immersion with feminine wile.
Moonshine aura enwraps you,
Queen with crown of diamond dew,
Sublime joie de vivre shines in style.

The thorny bush of resentment enwraps my heart and soul,
Suppressing the blooms of joy that try to spread their petals;
Like hemlocks, nightshades, castor beans, and oleander knolls,
It poisons my pure environs blemishing fine fettles...!
I'm enraged, often, my inner equilibrium gone,
I am imprisoned in the jail created on my own;
Carrying in my pocket the snake of hate I'm angst prone,
Peacefulness is fully gone, there's a constant cyclone...!
When there's no anchor for rancor soul is shipwrecked, often,
I, as responsible captain, with awareness control;
Mind in Brahma, to stop rancor I should take precaution,
Through a life one with God, I can save my body and soul...!
Why couldn't I embrace each creature and exist for all?
Why couldn't I travel within and put things in order?
Why could not I through my good thoughts, words, and deeds bliss enthrall?
Why couldn't, one with the divine, turn a peace accorder...?

I, naughtily, peeled and peeled you to find the truth within,
You have, dear, taught me the philosophy of nothingness;
Each of your petals, like magical herbs, tickles my skin,
Each leaf, as a united nation, enwraps your thickness...!
In you is fulfilled the Buddhist concept of Nirvana,
You are accused of arousing sensuality too;
The Israelites, in each step, seeking flora and fauna,
The Bible says each one missed you, restlessness in them grew...!
One who wishes to kiss one's spouse should not eat you, they say,
Each dish of each little home, yet, dear, you make delicious:
Antioxidants, Blood Sugar, and the Digestive way,
Symbol of protection, memories... you are auspicious...!
Peel yourself selflessly... this is what every onion says,
Resurrection means crucifixion too in humbler ways...!!!

“The rhythmic beauty of togetherness doesn’t fade for love is lyrical” - By Poet
My time is made of many happy hours,
when you give me a glinting prism of glass.
I split the sun spectrum in vivgyor colors
for your dainty face the dawning rays to flush.
In the facetted mirror on your enticing face,
the alluring motif of yearning comes in my view.
Your sweet smile laces your innate grace,
enwraps my heart, and I always find it new.
The lustrous lens of my longing I find magnify
the window of your heart for the butterflies
to enter, and with my ardor they merrily fly
with my love in languishing disguise.
My radiant lens of fervor focuses sharply you
onto my entranced eyes, I’m lost in reverie,
see your face gleam all the time anew,
painted on the canvas of my memory.
The music of my heart you’ll hear pass you by,
serenading in joy when with you I’m close.
The nightingale of emotion will fly in your sky
with the cadenced lyric of love I’ll compose.

Under the sparkling bejeweled sky
mesmeric moonshine enwraps you,
my heart floating on the stardust wave
feels the patina of your mystique touch.
My dormant desire is subtly allured
by the rays of your shimmering radiance,
weaving the tempting tapestry of dream,
framed within the lattice my longing.
Like the crown of the diamond dew
on the blades of grass of my meadow,
your charisma adorns my yearning
on the sanguine trail to your heart.
The true essence of love I then perceive
in the lure of your magnetic appeal I adore,
enveloped by the luster of your enticing charm,
will you be my valentine, I implore.

In the sunshine days you walk the sated life
In dream-paved scented path of rose garden
Along the trail of flitting butterfly you chase
The lattice of joy afloat in the charmed mind.
When the night falls with shroud of despair
The surging storm shatters your somber sky
The enchanting stars disappear behind cloud
In trying times you desire to see rays of hope.
You crumble as a wreck in melancholic ruins
Stow the debris of life in depth of depression
Desolation enwraps you with pall of dejection
Search vainly in grim darkness for the lost soul.
I will kindle for you a candle with divine glow
It will shine like full moon in your sky bright
You will rise from the debris as a new entity
In dismal dark night when I will be your light.

In life’s dynamic landscape of uncertain undulations,
on the paved pathway across the transient topography,
meandering to the realm of nebulous future obscure,
I follow the faint footprints of fate as I write this to you.
Many surging streams I swim in the storm of distress,
with hopes held close to the heart lest they all drown.
I chase beguiled butterfly desires in the valley of flowers,
on rainbow hue I fly my dreams with you I want to share.
Riding the cadence of rustling leaves in autumn forest,
sunburst dawn’s aura enwraps me with gilded rapture.
In mind’s meadow the dewdrops of love sparkle as pearls,
you’ll see at the end of my journey when I embrace you.
I now find the spent sun set at the golden edge of twilight,
tinting tentative trail to you covered with dust of obscurity.
I hear the wind of time whisper to begin the search for you,
as with the senile rhythm of footsteps I walk the last mile.

From the draping noise of unnerving distraction
The voices return to where they come from
To modulate the expressions not made clear
For the boundless enclosure of the open mind.
When the cacophony of the outside melts away
The voices rise from the depth of solitude within
Articulating the rhythm of engrossed essence
The sound of silence then enwraps the unsaid.
In the frigid expanse of the mind’s seamless space
The sentiments become restive for warm embrace
To unfurl the sensuous petals of blooming feelings
In harmony with the heart’s symphony of spring.
In the arena of mind the tune of emotion echoes
From the melodic sanctum of sonorous tranquility
When the soul resonates with divine music of bliss
The audience of fervent feelings falls silent.

Night lifts the ebon shroud onto the curved silk of sky,
the dazzling drizzle of spectrum at dawn has begun,
paints pearls on meadow where dulcet dew drops lie,
the dance of hues starts under the shimmer of the sun.
The cadence of cloud descends to pulsate on my face,
I feel to your heart so far now my sunburst love flow.
The cascade of colors enwraps you with glory of grace,
like a dainty leaf drenched by twilight tinge you’ll glow.
The rising sun’s splendor splashes dream dust on me,
I float my mind on paper boat on river of reverie anew.
It will reach you sailing on wings of zephyr you’ll see,
carry this last letter I wrote in color of my heart to you.
