TORN.
Image taken & Manipulated by me
oh empress!
I can see the sound
of your love like a cymbal
calling like a siren
as it creeps around like a symbol
a redness or a green?
like a Siamese or a twin?
or like an arrow swivelling
as a swift
coming down like the showers
of snow or a gentle breeze?
I'm torn,
two soul luring me
to the north or the west?
for the north lies my heart
enchanted to a goddess of charm
and the west is lies a longing heart,
beckoning in pleas
to be lost, forever carried away
by the unsteady current of love
gushing and dashing against rocks
Oh empress!
I'm torn, between the wild,
and the tamed
For like a camel,
swiftly gliding the desert
wading in dangerous winds
I have listened keenly
to gentlest of reverberations
to the tenderest of thuddings
in the naked nights
Under Sirius' beam,
I'll serenade for decades,
till these vocals
can no longer yodel
and the larynx no more blare,
like a gladiator
I shall fight seven headed monsters,
glorying in gut and gore
like a beast hungry for more,
more of that gaze
into the dark where your glitter
like a firefly under the meadow.
TORN!
like a fork,
two beautiful path
with uncertainty lying in wait
shall i dwell abreast?
gazing through your beauty
like an ewe lost in awe
of turn to a solemn love
for the softest of embrace.
the eyes is persuaded
but eternity awaits
Your gaze keeps me forlorn,
ensnares me for long,
like air in a cage
and only a glimpse of you,
coming in the wildest of storm
appearing like letters dotted in cuneiform
and my heart is made at morn,
to deny my one true love
and follow you willfully
to the ends of the earth
