When the sun shines
with mellow kindness,
and blue butterflies
hover around fragrant blooms…
coral reefs reflect
vibrant hues across crystal waters…
soft splashes of frothing waves,
lull me into a rosy reverie…
A rainbow moment
tiptoes out of the
strict regime of time…
as an ambient sky smiles down upon me…
velvet petals of a roseate dream,
lilt upon the limpid pools
of my slumbering eyes…
Whispers of sensuous tales,
misted with primal desires…
waft over my skin…
A season of perpetual spring
alights on the frilly satin
of my blushing bed….
Elusive chimera of diaphanous forms
flow around me like angels…
touching me
with a delicacy infinite…
Could this be the budding
of a new genesis?
My soul sprouts visions
of a haven extraordinaire,
a sanctuary
of endless indulgences…
an elegant transcendence,
whose whereabouts
are privy exclusively,
to my enraptured soul…
