Fall Skies

The bell of the high church tower Rings every hour The sound echoes with power As in the skies shooting stars shower Beyond the castle wall There is suffering of a lonely soul The chestnuts fall like hail this fall And leaves autumn paints in colors beyond all control The young man was riding the road map did chart But on the way there he got shot with a poison arrow through his heart His father was to be next baron but political rivals decided to get rid of upstart To send a message they killed his son by paying off the local blackheart In the churchyard his love waited patiently But meeting between them was not to be Unsure why breaking the promise was he She knew that their togetherness was destiny Her lips were inviting crimson red But her deep eyes were sad after tears they began to shed When she found out that her love was dead She lost her head She prayed to the God to bring her love back She begged the God until of time she lost track Trying to pierce nothingness with her eyes she stared into black But what is once gone from this world it cannot backtrack As she looked at the cross she begged first then threatened with violence But in return she heard only silence The cross was made of gold showing its brilliance But yield no answer to her grievance When she talked to the priest he would tell That if she continued to be angry she would go to hell Since he was on payroll of political party he would also tell That her lover would go to hell as well First furious then crying of tears sea Then she thought that maybe that was her destiny Then to grant her wish heavens would agree But rather then bring the love back they told her to look at world’s beauty The reason was so it she would not forget when she ventured to the skies Beyond second place where the out world lies For the Gods joined the couple together not where soul goes when it dies But rather to final fundamental place to be the king and queen of the very skies The portal to the seventh skies Was through the girl’s enchanting deep eyes The beauty that never dies The abyss of wonder and the gate to highest heaven in those eyes would arise
