My gown was a pearly ethereal periwinkle,
And my glow a cluster of constellations
While my steps painted pathways on the Earth's canvas,
I sought out the souls that craved to be healed
Sometimes a rock's crevice,
Other times, a moaning animal
Or a human's wail,
Beckoning my presence to his arid, lifeless land
Carried away by the need to save,
I spent my time mending broken souls
Amidst my travels,
I found solace in the presence of a constant companion
Far up in the velvety purple sky,
Adorned with countless stars,
Bright shined the moon,
With an aura of heavenly glow
I was bewitched, body and soul
We told scores of silent stories,
Our stares conveying our yearning for each other
Every night, I would meet him in the forest,
Surrounded by flourishing foliage
The birds singing a symphony,
About our stolen stares
As nights passed and our encounters deepened,
The glances exchanged in the quite depths of the forest
Were infused with familiarity
They seemed to be the conduit,
Of our shared connection
I used to bid my time,
Under the glare of the scorching sol
My heartbeat quickening,
At the slightest hint of pink in the azure hues
It was that night,
The night of the full moon
I was lost in his enchanting countenance
Unbeknownst to me, was a clandestine amour,
The nightingale, singing a harmonious melody,
In dulcet tones, filled with longing for my mōna
The romance caught my attention
When their passions were at their peak
I seethed, my wrath desperate to escape
All reasons left my senses,
As I transformed into incandescent flames
In my rage, I destroyed the very souls I swore to protect,
Leaving behind misery and a pale-painted sorrow
I consumed their happiness,
To tame the unruly flames
When the fires froze,
The devastation left in the wake of my selfish rampage
Tugged at my heartstrings
How can I answer the millions of why's?
That it was an ardent lover's fiery fury?
