Walk through the boulevard

A bed of roses along the highway

At a distance…a figure I did see

My chest began to beat hard

Hammered as if a thousand drums

Like soldiers marching up and down

Then began to falter

Rubicund fluid rushes up

Organ of intellect unconscious

Darkness all about, conquers in due time

Day star woke up my wits

A steel out of its casing

Pricks up the life’s pump

Ready to burst into kingdom come

Appendage reached out emptiness

Unreceived , crestfallen

Not to abandon but to stand up

What’s right, the feeling within

A feeling unknowledgeable

A blank wall before me

Strong and robust

Proceeded to where the figure is

Armed with acumen, keen insight

But shrewd and fearless

Dressed to prink, insuperable

As if wearing a diadem on top

Looking like miscreant, puerile

And proselytized the true love I dreamt

Surprise the prize momentarily

Grandee on bended knees

Taciturn, hauteur, querulous

Vituperate did she become

Tremulous am I

Brave only betimes

To defend ‘til death

Wrong or right

Ascribed her in my heart

There was animadversion

But finally a cosset
