Poem Title:
Poem
The heavens, Of reaching them, have I set my aim In their essence do I dwell From their roots do I originate And in them, Lies my heart! Yet, I shall renounce of them Shall it be That the whispers of the night Scathe me! I shall renounce of them As, how am I to enjoy them If I shall have to enjoy their Thousands of moons All alone? I shall renounce, Even if such shall hurt the Gods I shall renounce, As my cause remains that of love, Love which have been paved Here, in a realm which makes the purity Of its bond even more difficult Love, which has its meaning in the stars Love, on which relies the cosmos To keep its beating heart on! Pray, After all, I did choose to fall for the sake of this love I did choose to fall on an Earth Which laughs at the misery of its children I did choose to fall Merely because the love willed to me Clawed at my heart, tearing it into tiny pieces! Being happy requires being selfish In my selfishness I choose to renounce of the heavens Even if such would require That my soul ceases to be! Why, I remain, here A puppet dancing to the tunes of fate I remain, here A being whose life belongs not to her I remain, here, As seaweed, drifting at sea Pulled by the tides, Or wilting on the shores As long as I remain of use to those powers Watching over me! But the pain is getting harsher, And harsher As if it were the dagger of gloom Pleasuring itself in plunging into the Softest parts of my mortal body Laughing at the blood being drawn from it Enjoying my tears And my despair! It is all a matter of time It is just one life I shall have not another The heavens, Of the hope they give do I Build my strength But I shall renounce them If such would be required!
