My Heart Ever Desired

You excavate my thirsty soul to raise the storm of desire,

Again sans you, this antagonist world seems to be a zone of dire.

I shall melt in your muses and reside in your core citadel,

The uninfringed hours and the prolonged eras to dwell.

What my heart has always painted on the canvas of my surreal mind,

You’re the vignette whose reflection on its bare surface I find.

In your disappearance, there is no more in my life nor in this world,

For me you epitomize the terminology of life whereby undauntedly I unfurl.

Your nimbus is my resplendence of amaranthine bliss,

And I levitate in zenith as I sink in your abyss.

If your unbridled quest beckons you, I shall never be the hindrance,

For in me I can feel the appeasing shower of your presence.

Your estrangement shall keep me sodden in your memories,

And you shall reside in me forever as long as I breathe.

The inane day and night and the lingering months and years,

Shall flinch to enumerate my desolation imbued in tears.

If your love haunts for some other figure, l shan’t flicker,

I shall be the carafe accruing every iota of your despair.

Just like the maiden aurora rejuvenates its daintiness garbing the soft dew,

Enrobing the essence of your amour, I too shall eternally wait for you.
