On a sunny morning in Colorado
Sun, a mile closer than plains,
Greets me with added warmth.
A silver polished peak against blue sky
Seeks to mate with terrestrial cloud.
The cloud descending on a gorgeous hill
Whispers the bliss of heaven.
Hill in return raves about earthly pleasure.
Held together like body and soul
In rapturous embrace
The ecstasy of their beauteous love
Bursts out to mesmerizes all.
Yet none could hold the other long.
Much to their chagrin
The baleful wind breaks the silvery embrace
And tears the cloud away.
His promise to return soon
Echoes around the hill in thunderous rain.
Hill's gaze as always
Fixed upon its vanishing love,
Waiting, enduring, longing.
Such is sometimes the love's destiny
To keep the beloveds apart.
Though the hill and a cloud's
Beautiful union, however short-lived
Is forever immortalized in my heart.

A magnificent poem with captivating imagery! Beautifully composed dear madam....top score
" Bursts out to mesmerizes all." i suggest " ..out and mesmerizes.." OR " ..to mesmerize.." . :) " To keep the beloveds apart." i suggest a comma, not a period. What! ? Savita, you Romantic, you! ! ! are you trying to compete for poetic greatness with the likes of Valsa, and, of course, MEEe? a great poem, though i could find little 'wrong' with it. darn! ! to MyPoemList. bri :)
