Heart Configured Into Crystal Constellation

In the splendorous crown of my ardent heart 
shimmering in the glow of the indigo night,
you gleamed like the tinsels of the moon. 
I tried to feel your sapphire sheen touch,
but you drifted away slowly out of my sight, 
from the seeking sky I had sculpted 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 moon dust, 
showering on me the patina of your beauty. 

From the ebony edge of the tranquil night 
storm clouds surged with the thunders of strife, 
splintered my sky of seamless yearning motif. 
From beneath the dispersed debris of despair 
I gathered the fragments of my broken heart. 

These turned into stars sprouting one by one, 
when you returned to my empty sky of longing. 
Adorned by the moonbeam lattice of your grace
I configured my heart into a crystal constellation, 
weaving an astral garland to embellish your love.
