TREASURES IN THE SHADOWS

Your beauty shimmers when I look at your shadow
I see an ocean of affection in your eyes
to quench my storm that is breaking self control
unstable like a radioactive element
where I find your music too enticing to forebear
your love's flavour has my tongue recite an enigma
of a masterpiece that I wish to serve
and ultimately to have

I wish to dine at your table
where all delicacies make an exquisite pattern
like the Picasso's abstract
that pattern that is definite to a chessboard
if I draft then it is no longer about draught
for when I checked your king
the kingdom I was given
to dance with a crown on my head
where wisdom had found rest

Eternity needs to whisper some charm to me
to coax time to reveal the future
a future that is desiring your presence
for it without you is like a dawn without sunrise
and roses in the fields will not unfurl
kisses of dew will not abide on silver orbs
and definitely my heart will not be tenacious
with hope again

But...
there you go again with swirling fragrance of love
you flow likes wisps of lavender's smell
in a ring like the one in my heart for engagement
you go further to kiss the horizon
where you make a sunset
disturbing the demeanour of my dreams
as the night approaches
but you are my chandelier in the sky of the night
for in each day I look for words
that will reveal a treasure that lurks in your shadow
