Indulgent Fervor
The sunburst dawn’s flaming film
flushed your flamboyant face,
as the horizon turned to golden fresco
in my dew crowned meadow,
you flittered like a butterfly,
my yearning got entrapped in frozen time.
Before you could fly away far
with the fragrance of my indulgent fervor,
leaving me in the debris of ecstasy,
I suffused my soul sensitive
with the ether of your enticing lure,
flowing from the fringe of your flashing eyes.
My heart turned into a clump of swirling cloud,
in the gale of desire drifting in depression
through the arch of transient rainbow
where the dreams melted into charming colors.
For the lasting longing to fly in your lilting sky
I would wait entranced till the end of time.
That’s when the storm of agony would abate,
and I would find you beguiling once again
across the halcyon horizon of eternal bliss,
swathing the sensual sheen on your essence,
I would see it morph into a mesmeric sea,
in its enthralling depth of serenity I would sink.
When in the hued horizon the crimson sun rose
I saw you flash across my dew latticed meadow,
chromatic glare of dawn flushed your face aglow.
in flow of time the ripples of my moments froze.
The glint of your seraphic eyes glistened on me,
filled the void of my yearning where your grace lay,
like a spritely butterfly before you could fly away,
leaving me in the dispersed debris of ecstasy.
On the wings of desire my heart soared up high,
floated across the silver-lined clouds of dismay,
the dreams behind the rainbow arch won’t stray,
for my yearning would fly in your sapphire sky.
When I would plunge in the deep cauldron of blue
the fleeting glow of your face I would seek to view,
through the grey haze of despair it would take me to
the sunburst horizon where I would surely find you.
