Sun Blossoms

Broken Dream

ALAMBENT cloud etched on a dream
Jewel-throated white-peacock shape
Floats on the night-hushed sapphire stream
From star-cape to gem-outlined cape.

Filled with a heavenly merchandise
It sails, borne by a dim-paced breeze;
The moons unfathomed glowing eyes
Guide the pearl-trail with wizard rays.

A sudden storm breaks the gold-lined
Tranquillity of the sky-swoon:
A fiery dragons breath, the wind
Blackens the bright dream and the moon.
