THE LOTUS OF YOUR DREAMS

Under the dazzling downpour

Of caressing moonbeams

I completely drown myself

Into the luring lotus 

of your dreams. 

 The gentle opening

Of each petal 

Takes me to an exquisite world

Where nobody cries, only love smiles 

From dawn to dusk. 

This adorable lotus 

Releases such a captivating fragrance

Of every loving word that i couldn't utter

Of every endearing gesture

That would never happen. 

How grateful I am to this perennial lotus! 

That blooms daily in my life's garden

Keeps a magical casket hiding in its chest

To embellish my gloomy days and nights

With the invaluable gems of precious moments.
