Rose Wilderness
Trudging in the amber wilderness of want, I wander on the lonesome life’s weary path from the captive cauldron of tranquility copse I absorb the emerald grandeur of serene niche create in my heart a malachite meadow The mist of frosted fervor waits for the winsome wind to blow under the fervent sapphire sky with your enticing charisma swathing the sense of my blue (tortured by the taste of touch) Wake within the rose wilderness wake within the rose wilderness I chase your fading trail I chase your fading trail In the titular template of loneliness the secret motif of my longing designs the lattice of desire carves the furtive image of my heart the quivering willow in the wasteland As the dormant dreams blaze in inferno I breathe the ashes of derelict desire afloat stealthily in the sky of vacuity where “I beseech the sun to undress the stars...” In bleak landscape of my psychic badland your footprints fade beyond the turquoise trail of lingering longing you allure me to wander and chase the mirage of floral memory so I can “wake within the rose wilderness” Wake within the rose wilderness wake within the rose wilderness I chase your fading trail I chase your fading trail As an ebullient stream you cascade in the valley of my tulip time carry my dream on a static ripple to float in the dale of yearning and I ask, mesmerized “what is a ripple without its rhythm?” when I’m suffused with the aura of love perceive the cadence of pearlescent passion Wake within the rose wilderness wake within the rose wilderness I chase your fading trail I chase your fading trail (take my heart) (wake within the rose wilderness)
