Deserted Temple

in the midst of turbulent air
wandering my thoughts aimlessly
scattered and shattered into pieces
i see them flying in sphere vainly
once were they mine sweet and tender
and born from the deepest of heart
they were raised and nourished
from your sweetest love
and mysterious touch
your love and compassionate heart
led me to a world of harmony
where i saw a sequence of pearls
moon and stars and their brightness
i felt my soul immersed
mythically transformed into a well being
from the narrow passages of life
your love brought me to new horizon
i reached the magnificent mark
the temple, the palace, the castle
where the greatness of your love
worshipped and adored sacredly
i breathe the air from heaven
with you my soul inbound to ultimate
I touched the height of glory
and one day the darkness overcame
destroyed my world I had for so long
the soft touch of your ruby lips
stricken out and left me in despair
scent of your breath flung in the air
lost and disappeared from my life
I sit here and gaze the sky silently
where the memory of days gone by
like a shadow fading slowly
while the sun embracing
the darkness of night..........
