We Were Once Beautiful

It had indeed promised to be a fruitful journey For we had being brought together by a blue ferry I had known the birding would be huge but it I will carry So beautiful it was as we had set off to write our own story A story understood to only to be told to yet our unborn children Of how lovely it was growing up and falling in love in the brethren A story that was preordained to sooth our lovely offspring to slumber But now it will only be to tell them of that person we will always remember We set off together to explore the forest of lust Very lovely it was and forever I thought it will last The sweet flower nectar that never would get lost The beautiful smile that I always remember the most A smile I was unwavering to make mine at all cost Unfortunate for me, it was never part of HIS list Else any length would I have gone with my fist But we got lost in this beautiful forest For we had walked with no time to rest Stirring all round but we held to the west But yes indeed we were actually lost Lost in the forest to the joy of our long and unforgotten hallucinations Phantasms that kept lingering in the chambers of our unforgotten retentions Dancing to the beat our disinclination to succumb to the forces of vain forgetfulness A dream it was but I was poised and determined to fight all odds to making it a reality That required of us is to crave for a safe voyage through the valley of the wilderness For I knew if that then it shall be not only exquisite but good for our emotions But that which I dire not fight, evident itself and offered by conditions The ocean of tears still gushes from my eyes of lifeless Falling into the calabash of dreams in strings of endless A calabash that is now crushed into shards of countless To what I owe the fault of such a calamity, I am clueless From the land of my birth I had returned with happiness Only to fortuitous the unsolicited lodger of unhappiness But why? Why? Why? does the shadow less faces kept on staring Through the stained classes, they kept appearing From nowhere and everywhere, I kept wondering Away I told them but, around they kept lingering My effort yielded nothing for they kept pestering Everything had changed so acutely and I was curious As if it a comedy but believe me it was rather serious We fictitiously parted ways with no one being furious But I know once more it will illuminate and be glorious
