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
ery dragons breath, the wind

Blackens the bright dream and the moon.
