Unshakable Mirage
Fleeing to the proximate exit
Racing, panting and gasping for respite
A pliable visionary
Searching for solaced rest
Then the melodious soprano broke free
Locked lips could restrain them not
Lib rings out
Behind the veil of twilight
Slipping into the solo war
As dense thoughts
Are disrobed in the nightfall sated with darkness
So beauteous with a dainty veneer
Psyched about glamour but sullen
Tranquility oozed out akin to quiet seas
The charade matched in parade as I stood amazed
Then her chuckles; reached me yonder
Beyond the pristine confusion
Riding on propellers
A shadow of an enchanting embrace
Reserved for the bearer in the race
Buoyed above, I arose
Charging to victory with a piercing desire
To unburden her from herself!
Yoo-hoo, I muttered
Reminiscent of our first glance
With hindsight
My pretend acquaintance
With the onus of propriety
Scurrying the maze
Real and surreal clashed
Unconscious still,
I dart beyond the pangs
Seething beneath us
‘Till the frail trail
Fades in the distant aeon
Tis morning
I declare boldly shrouded by the stealth of a smiley
Like the heart wooing the mind
My endearments
Mine would be yours but for the first stance.
Today, the hanging sunbeam
Dole out clout it would seem
But alas my lass
I so pale not bane
Floating on bubbles
Combustible in bursting ardour
Weightless, timeless and boundless
The bridge to our ecstasy
A sweet journey of discovery
Flourishing forever idyllically
My illusionary vision
Minuscule, yet transcendental
With your incessant nudge
On the outskirts of my hallucination
Elusive yet pervasive
Yield not yourself to this banality
Ditch this soporific
His slumber echoes,
With wordless love
Mouthing fickle syllables
Soaked in cringe
And adorned with a sense of quaintness
In your wake
My mirage stays awake
This battle is endless!
