Romantic and Beautiful Aerial Courtship

Perilous is the journey, sordid is the quest, flashing flirtatious desire,

Treacherous is gaudy aspiration, playing with torrid flames of fire;

No matter how thrilling, how visceral may feel this insidious chase,

Neither it is a road to endearment, nor is it a destination of grace.

 

Provocative is charming croon, simulating sound of love’s acclaim,

Exhilarating is ephemeral attraction, missives seductive inflame;

Audaciously feigning love, squalid is the phony paramour of shame,

Teasing emotions in tawdry games~ ignoble is his heartless name.

 

Allures of the dangerous dalliance, dazzle donning a seamy stance,

Hosting rendezvous immoral ~ an illicit dance of lurid romance;

Transient are escapades of infatuation, never meant to forever last,

Buried are their broken-hearts, in cemeteries of jilted forlorn past.

 

In interludes of life and time, wrinkles weary warn of receding age,

As lascivious phase, in book of life, begins to turn a fading page;

Revealing to glamor and courtship: the aura of beauty is long gone,

And nightmares of regrets have since robbed, avid dreams of dawn.

 

Obsession of lust wasn’t love~ admonish the sad memories of yore,

Promiscuity of casual encounters, pathos of remorse now abhor;

Wondering if it’s too late to long, for lasting bond of kindred hearts,

Before empathy of love departs, before the warmth of passion parts.
