Draping the Shadow
My memory carves an image indelible,
time could not take it away in the flight.
On the shore of shimmering sea
I weaved my love for you,
with romantic spectrum of the sunburst silk sky,
painted the profile of future landscape.
Our hearts beating in harmony took entwined shape,
as the sun sank to set, passing us by,
I couldn't release your hands I knew.
I felt the joy, so free
could flash on your face like the luster of twilight.
I was flushed with longing incredible.
Your yearning touch I still feel for it’s durable
like the glow of pole star I saw that night,
but you went where you wished to be,
far away from my view.
I can’t forget that night howsoever I try,
with moondust lattice your shadow I drape.
