Limerence

When I first saw you, an ingenue,
The ambivalence and demure were there,
The imponderable idiosyncracy made me inept,
To enunciate the cynosure, the ebullience of mine to you,
Your silhouette was so comely,
And your mellifluous dulcet voice mixed in with the bucolic milieu,
You were the creme de la creme of people
Left me hanging on this ineffable labyrinth which I couldn't get through.
I felt like you are my talisman,
I must be with you.
This nascent feeling drove me delirious so I divulged to you.
Hoping that one day we can have a dalliance,
This is to good to be bona fide.
But all these times I lived in an inanity,
Where affection isn't ignis fatuus,
It is corporeal like you.
Your sussurus denial left me something to brood.
The ephemeral attraction and halcyon,
Just etiolated like a bell's tintinnabulation.
Plethora of love was what I gave,
What you gave was an epoch of woebegone,
Which no panacea can cure.
But I'm glad that you're no more in masquerade.
Your pretty face was what I remembered,
Thank you for teaching me to be better,
And I've learnt that,
Infatuation is temporary,
Pain is forever...
