Timeless Love
I fear to tell you
Why I go to the dark cave every evening.
If you must know
It’s because she whose heart mine is knitted with is a dragon.
A wild beast.
She devours my fears.
She invades my mind and dispels
My doubts.
She dethrones my loneliness.
And pulls down the walls of hate.
She sinks the ships of depression.
I surrendered when she broke down my
gates.
She has taken the empire of my soul.
Have you ever found her kind
In your nature books?
She raids the cities
Of my painful past
And brings to me its spoils.
She is not beautiful?
Your eyes will never tell you she is.
Her beauty is not given to sight to
behold.
She exhales fire; I burn.
She beats my pen into a sword; I conquer.
She is not among the daughters
That go down the stream at eve
With earthen pots to draw water.
She is wingless
Without the poetry
My heartbeats recites.
My whispers are the wind
She glides in.
I sail on her tears
To realms the eagles have not seen.
My ink is the only wine that intoxicates her.
When she lies drunk in my arms
that's when I sneak away
And you find me here.
Do not frown at this slave I have become.
O do not!
For I am gladly enchanted.
There is no return.
Seek me not.
You will never find me.
tracing my footprints on the sands.
Footprints can only be found
on the sands of time.
The realm in her
arms is timeless.
