UNDER THE INFLUENCE (An Original Poetry)

Like the soft purring of the Song Thrush,
on the bread-like branch of the Sequoia tree
sweetly gyrating like "La pollera colora"
we're like water lilies,
enslaved by the rhythm of the seas,
caught in the kamikaze of utter delight
till we're enthralled by the dawn,
marvelled by life's beauty,
under a beautiful influence.

---

You're a cistern,
that oozes delight, Flowing,
like ale fizzling in a gourd
to the utter nourishment of the soul,
we're seeing sunset in your stead,
gleaming through us like a beam,
yet the day's delight is new,
born out of concocted admiration,
we're under your influence
incapacitated by the ripples
that spreads through the smiles

---

Like a work of art,
that brings awe to the heart
feed the soul with aplomb,
like a light taunting the eyes,
we're blinded by your sight,
a glorious monument, too cherubic,
for our transgressed selves
we're under the influence

---

Like frankincense and myrrh,
emitting redolence in avalanche,
hissing and gurgling orange relish
sending spiral sentences to the thoughts,
we're under a spell binding influence,
to savour your sweet delight,
as it travels through the bloodstream,
mending the heart's contours
