magnetic map

If to l o v e  you
    must I find 
        cosmic keys
let wisteria words 
 unlock the 
       ethereal gates~
to dream within 
     the celestial warmth 
of your 
      amorous arms
     to taste phrases
fragranced with
           crystal amber
                       lunar drops …

and to breathe 
            p e a c e
    must I swallow 
petrichor memories 
     resting on 
         poisoned petals 
as this love is 
    a murky mirage
of white 
         oleander wishes
and I forever dwell
    in the aftermath of
what once was written
   as 
t i m e l e s s romance …

but can the 
      distance between 
  twinkling topaz stars
trace the 
     magnetic map 
   to your hibiscus heart 
where sky spills 
       no blemished rhymes
  and the wind 
       sings not of scars?
perhaps the moon 
and 
   astral flares 
  shall sync 
      with
          peridot waves~
to serenade serenity
     resting amidst
                 pensive silence. ..
