LOVELESS

*Prologue (goddess)

When the war of the beasts

Brings about the world's end

The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar

She guides us to bliss

Her gift everlasting

 

Act 1 (the wanderer)

Infinite in mystery

Is the gift of the goddess

We seek it thus

And take it to the sky

Ripples form on the water's surface

The wandering soul

Knows no rest

 

Act 2 (the hero)

There is no hate only joy

For you are beloved

By the goddess

Hero of the dawn

Healer of worlds

Dreams of morrow

Hath the shattered soul

Pride is lost

Wings stripped away

The end is nigh

 

Act 3 (the abhorred)

My friend, do you fly away now

To the world that abhors you and I

All that awaits you

Is a somber morrow

No matter where the winds may blow

My friend your desire is the bringer of life

The gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises

Nothing shall forestall my return

 

Act 4 (the avenger)

My friend, the fates are cruel

There are no dreams

No honour remains

The arrow has left

The bow of the goddess

My soul corrupted by vengeance

Hath endured torment

To find the end of the journey

In my own salvation

And your eternal slumber

Legends shall speak

Of sacrifice at world's end

The winds sail over the waters surface

Quietly but surely

 

Act 5 (the sacrifiser)

Even if the morrow

Is barren of promises

Nothing shall forestall my return

To become the dew

That clenches the land

To spare the sands

The seas and the sky

I offer thee this silent sacrifice*

Notes

Full poem at once

And a simple interpretation of mine

Each act is spoken by different people of the story

The story;

There were three friends -"the beasts" as the poem says

One becomes the prisoner - the avenger, the evil

One flies away - the wanderer in the poem, the abhorred

The left one becomes the hero - the hero, the sacrificer

The hero sacrificed himself at the call of the goddess

For the avenger, goddesss is the evil, gift is the power

For the wanderer and abhorred, goddess is the goodness, gift is life and light

For the hero goddess is his lover and gift is the Love

But at the end of the tale, the hero dies making a promise of return and so the title is loveless
