Prompt : How would you describe the person you love?
***
The full moon shys away as my argent face beams,
‘Cause a million stars light up in your presence,
With you I traverse a surreal scape of dreams.
The love you reflect mirrors the gently flowing streams,
Like a wildflower I bloom sans pretense,
The full moon shys away as my argent face beams.
You quench my thirst mingling moments with myriad moonbeams,
Bridging the spatial space, time and distance,
With you I traverse a surreal scape of dreams.
Even your silence sparkles with amour like silhouetted sunbeams,
The verses you whisper are steeped with heady fragrance,
The full moon shys away as my argent face beams.
When I’m with you, frozen is time, ìt always seems,
The mortal world loses its relevance,
With you I traverse a surreal scape of dreams.
With you every wish is fulfilled and gleams,
The brewing passion sways with intense,
The full moon shys away as my argent face beams.
With you I traverse a surreal scape of dreams.
