Rejuvenating Voyage
Her tattered self in a city long ago
a little girl lost in oceans of turmoil
nobody had known her true identity
the whimsical world looked at her in pity.
She had an agony that none could hear
devoid of strength, joy and love
her wails diffused in white noise
she prayed to her ancestors above.
From a desolate sand dune he appeared
who believed that she was a miracle
he took her along as his own one
sprinkled upon her joys, lessons, insights
pristine hopes flourishing in anxious swamps
he reminded her that she was a warrior
"You don't lose until you give up"
his blissful whispers adorned her crown.
Their lands seemed similar in divine aurora
her captain guided in ferocious storms
their nascent ship went to universes afar
victorious battles of despair with light
an unbreakable bond of love and promises.
He built a kingdom for his little angel
revealing legends of her glorious history,
a princess of submerged kingdom he knew
his tranquil valour remained a mystery.
Alas! She unraveled his secret glitters
a fugitive from the land of her enemies.
How could she trust a masked warrior
detained beyond borders he must flee
torn pages of faith in sandstorms
her sword dripped crimson blood
serenades of magic however vanished
departed messenger in mists of void.
She began a voyage of unwavering courage
his symbol in another parallel universe
proclaimed insane in a whirlwind
beliefs of a warrior in mystic dreams
her lost lands, known battlefields
revived traces in bridged reminiscence
effervescent saplings of his presence
to find herself she fused her essence
bereft yet brave, her legacy applauded
an unnamed warrior remembered for years
at a blissful topanga of azure twilight
his blessings gleamed her silver sword
he'd waited for her to win herself
the warrior who'd never give up hadn't left.
