By Accident


In the splendorous crown of my ardent heart, 
shimmering in the glow of the argentine night,
you gleamed like the tinsels of the moon. 
I tried to feel your touch of sapphire sheen,
but you drifted away out of my sight 
from the passionate pathway I had paved for you. 

In the verdant vale of my cascading heart 
your footprints impressed a turquoise trail. 
As I walked with dream on its tortuous trace, 
I discerned the remains of my love glimmer 
in the mesmeric embrace of the stardust, 
showering on me the sequins of your beauty. 

From the ebony edge of the tranquil night 
storm clouds surged with the thunders of strife, 
shattered my sky of seamless yearning motif. 
Beneath the dispersed debris of despair 
the fragments of my broken heart
found the despondent niche to solemnly sigh. 

Splintered in the disastrous ambience 
of the tarnished twilight in the vortex of turmoil, 
I felt the ruins of my passion blow away
with my dreams in the squall of the sulky night.
I was sucked by the unforeseen calamity       
within the virulent void of its enraged eye.

When the spring of longing came after the storm,
I entered the secret garden of your seclusion,
blooming with flowers hidden from me.
As I sauntered there in the sunburst new dawn,
I wished before I walk the last mile, 
our paths would cross someday by accident.
