this is a tale of two star-crossed lovers with a love so powerful they tainted the heavens with bursts of colours
they were never meant to be; mischievous little kids finding love in sinful glee in laughter, between dreams and reality
and though it was lawless, they found solace because in every prison, they found a rhyme and a reason
but even for a love so great, they could not escape the fates’ wrath and envy
destiny pulled on their threads cut them loose, thrusted them into misery; for their memories were wiped clean, but feelings remained as strong as they had ever been
the boy exiled in a far off land across the pacific sea the girl trapped in her need to break free in a realm both boring and bland
ensnared in a labyrinth of woe the lovers yearned for anything— for something, for someone, to obliterate this endless longing
the gods answered them in the form of two loved ones polished in every edge, a perfect someone
but perfect felt too perfect and not perfect enough to fill up the hole left by a perfectly imperfect
until one day the gods whispered for the winds to push the two and the birds to tug at their sleeves over mountain and sea even through the darkest valley so their paths would finally meet
and so they did.
in the flurry of a moment a pair of brown eyes met and time was frozen once more
the two stared intently as if remembering a broken melody a lost childhood song branded as a wrong
the birds fluttered and flew taking the cursed red fibre snipped them in two and the lovers felt all the lighter
it was the girl who spoke first: “**** the stars. i don’t want perfect, i want you.”
eyes dazzling, the boy nodded: “we’ll invert the universe— the night sky a blank white the stars pitch black the earth moving in reverse”
the fates saw and surrendered as the stars began to wither for this love is love in all its splendor
so the lovers walked away with a promise under their breaths, they both swore: “i lost you once, but nevermore.”
they say no one can rewrite the stars, so i propose we orchestrate supernovas.
