once upon a stolen time
skies swore love to the earth
in a sight where all flew past
the splendor of a sailing romance
a passion so pristine
ever gentle as morning dew
which surrenders to the first rays
of a yawning sun toddling into
the laziest hour of day's fabric
when hope glittered as stars
and as formless light of souls relieved to be
strewn into the lap of merciful
enchantress content with her creation
whose world shone inspired on its own
an era where people breathed felicity
where foamy seas bent into a restless
swell of dreamy clouds
and smiling rainbows melted into perfume
drops of silver rain
when a grand pearl was born
the child of deepest seas
a gleaming myth so pure and unreal
born in nethers of the grand ocean
a spheric orb of life itself
whom the heavens embraced
as a savior of those lost within
the fading embers of abstraction
frolicking amidst solemn tranquil stars
shiny bright on the celestial parapet
the mortals named her moon
and furnished their barren lives with
colorless spread of her golden hair
traced along the milky laugh of joy
kissing tender skins of lovers asleep
but pinched upon by shores of neglect
lay the boiling heart of a forgotten god
leaning into the envious whispers of venomous deceit
sprung out of flaming ego of the great sun
overpowered by hate for his adversary
and the grand ocean who birthed her
so he raged upon like a nebulous explosion
drying up colossal seas and rivulets alike
while mortals bore the brunt of a deity
beneath all fiery blunders of infernal damnation
they all gazed in horror
to what became of once cerulean infinite ocean
now a volatile geyser of bloodied soup
a serene cradle of life incinerated by jealousy
amidst the dying cries of mercy
laid upon the ears of great mother
who rushed to her frightened children like
an avalanche of uplifting spells
as solace from the obliviating torrents of heat
above a crumbling earth
veiled in her merciful majesty
she called upon a parliament of beasts and men
starry denizens of the shivery black sky
ghostly natives of burning forests
restless roses of ashen hearts
as so were they all summoned
"for all ye did defile
with strength i lend to thee
reduce to shadow dust
spread thy cruelty
dispel a coat of fire
upon my hallowed sea
betray the rule of stars
but so mercilessly
for 'gainst the eye of war
ye sinned with hateful fright
and shall be doomed to hell
till life's last surmise
but if there be some more
ye need to speak awhile
speak aloud thee must
for this be thy time"
and so the mighty sun bared his heart
"for if i had a choice
sin i shall again
to breathe a demon's soul
engrossed with deathly pain
as when i saw her first
the light of purest love
allure of million songs
beaming anthems of
poetry set in sight
in fountains of her sleep
amid the faintest wish
of day we two shall meet
i ran and ran across
the length of starlit skies
in search of moon again
her burnished sheeny smile
only to learn the sea
would mask her in the day
in frigid soundless depths
until i fade away
spiralled across the space
i burnt to nothingness
a billion years in wait
perished to longingness
for choice was what i had
i chose to hate the world
one that does have no heart
one that does know no love
for if i had a choice
sin i shall again
just as the ocean sinned
and bring my soul this pain"
seeking out for the shattered cascades of his mind
the great mother did reach to the floundering soul
of a sun craving for one more sight of his beloved
all so distant as a tale of treasures lost
to the perpetual labyrinth of time
"of what shall thus be named
the blush of myriad glows
beneath the noble day
before the nights of pure
let there be a spell
where sun may see the moon
chisel his heart through clouds
scroll upon his tune
a time where them two shall
be one as dew and morn
ripple across as love
through dusky silhouettes long"
sweet scents of eager hope resurfaced
followed by the serene lush of a green symphony once more
while the sun bent down to touch the topaz glint of water
his beloved emerged riding upon whistling winds from east
once more piercing the restless swell of dreamy clouds
and just as day sank below a border of horizon
two lovers soared into the dreamy sight of each other
for hues of their daring glances tinge every twilight
again with a dream to have their love fulfilled
every day until the end of time.
