Sequined Shadow


The indelible image etched 
on memory membrane
time couldn’t tow 
to the obscurity ocean
in its shimmering shore 
on the satin sands 
I engraved entranced
the lattice of my love
the sensuous spectrum 
of sunburst sky scene
shaped the facsimile of fervor. 

Harmonious hearts 
took entwined entity
sutured by sublime strand
weaving the infinity
I couldn't release 
your alluring hands
my exhilaration candle 
fervently flickered
flashed on your face 
lasting luster
in twilight aura
I was flushed 
with the flare 
of craving delight. 

You were gone 
walking weary 
the providence path 
your engraved shadow 
lingered lively
in timeless domain
my longing threshold
perceived permeated 
the emotive endurance 
of your yearning 
the argentine glow 
of the amorous moon
unforgettable adornment  
of the bejeweled night
with sequined stardust  
I embellished 
your shadow in
eternity…
