Under the dark embellished sky
the moon glimmers with all its might,
wreathed by a fragrance that mellifluously
recites a story of the yesterdays,
nostalgia is reminiscing a land from far away,
fabricating a priestess's solitude days;
her soul embedded in the crestfallen winter nights
bestowed upon her was the sacredness of mankind;
yet fate had its way,
tantalizing her destiny with an irascible man
who bore a soul scarred with wounds
wished away with the maiden's solicitousness,
and engulfing the two in its enchantments
love invoked and finally the forlorn wintry moon
gave way to an era of unprecedented bliss,
but alas, the salubrious place in each other’s arms
was soon darkened with remorse
as destiny unleashed its cruelest form
pitting the two lovers against one another,
innocent love soon faded away
exuding a wretched silence
and their hearts once drenched
in yearning for one another
now laid tainted and defiled
with resentment and vengeance
hatred bearing its roots
in the burning flames of love
soon incinerated the lovers to their deaths
leaving behind two inscrutable faces
whose hearts were ripped apart
and souls forever lost and sealed,
and tonight, bearing the testimony of a sacred bond
devoured by darkness,
the breeze brushes against her skin
an unvoiced woe wafts through the cool air
and the soul weeps inexorably
as a somber voice
pierces through her heart
with a melancholic tale
of a tempestuous love that was
that is and will forever be.
