Lost and Found
I apologize for my notions
Begin.
I. Lost
She left at midnight,
He knew she was in a hurry,
For not even a note was left
Yet he knew exactly where she was
He always did
For they were one for each other's self
But she got this far
On the Oregon trail
And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
And seven days he waited
A month or two had passed
And signalled him,
He mourned
II. Search
And so a year had passed
Across miles of distance
A letter had arrived
With no admittance
"I still love you"
She called out his name
Hoping his love was still an unlit match--
And hers, the igniting flame
And a romance had been born anew
Across oceans of physical desire
Criss-crossed and etched in time
Below mountains and hell itself
III. Lookout
And he kept vigilant
Celibacy, the virtue
By which his years had swelled
And his vows remained ever true
As does hers though unspoken
The lines were cleary there
A hurricane in her eyes met him
The clouds took him everywhere
For they could not touch
Nor feel the presence of the other
Yet by day and night
Promised not to find another
And so began their wait
In this world full of doubt
Every opportunity that knocks,
Forgotten by the lookout
IV. The Wait
Torturous times
Everyone agreed with them
Sympathy was abundant
But pity was not forgiven
No man nor woman wants the eyes above
To look down
For even the allseeing hath no power
Over both hemispheres
And thus, the wait
Seconds lasted for hours
And the years were millenia apart
And the chapters of this story
Seemed to lose their final part
Yet what was once lost could always be found
For love hath no boundary
The universe within its bounds
And came the turn of pages
The final chapter
And its dusty sound
V. Found
And he was ready
After the dozen years of wait,
After several thousand days
And worried that she was late
Their love had worked
And all were proud
And nothing more could happen
When she descended from a cloud
And the last few kilometers
Would end my simple story
Now let's make this one tragic
And make it a little gory
VI. The Spice
And so
She took the train at midnight
Looking to complete their fairytale
What could make a greater story
Than a romantic one til the veil
Yet even Romeo and Juliet knew it wouldnt last
For they lived their lives of lies
The answer lies on the spice on the tongue
It ends with her demise
And she returned to him on a casket
Atleast now theyre together
Maybe one day he wont be able to take it
And he'd even pull the trigger
...
And now theyre both on the graveyard
Atleast now theyre together
Lost and Found, they made it
And now theyre young forever
