My Indomitable Soul

My Indomitable Soul

Once upon a time; yet not so long ago, 
When my innate innocent days were taking wings toward adventurous adolescence,
The golden rays of my life were smitten by fate’s derisive decree doomed for me to undergo.

My dear dreams of coming years of bliss-
were lost under an apocalyptic eclipse.
The lilting notes of the bird of my time; sweet and surreal,
were crushed and cursed by fate’s ominous ordeal.
The beauty that I till then cherished, the pride that I till then held about my physical form,
was ambushed and annihilated by fate’s seething storm.

No love for comfort,
No comrade for support,
No near, no dear,
No real, nothing more to lose and fear.

Oh fate!
You might rob away my beauty and compel me to feel lost and astray,
You might force people to avert their gaze at my sight,
You might let my love betray, 
You might challenge me and vex me with your malicious might,
Say, can you shackle my throbbing heart to feel the pangs of love?
Say, can you hanker the surging cadences of my youth’s poignant passion?
Say, can you daunt my wings to chase my dreams?
Say, can you steal the beauty of my soul beyond my flesh and skin?

You might shut all the doors of hope for me,
Yet I will assuage my pain with nature's bountiful beauty, and my spirits free.
You will never be able to conquer my dismantled, disoriented yet determined soul.
