Into the west my heart led,
down the beaten path strayed not
till a familiar sight I beheld,
the cottage of adversity,
a gloomy face it wore,
as it did decades ago.
I sank onto the floor of its porch
stretching my tired limbs.
along came the Saharan wind,
caressing me into a silent castle in Spain.
Like a mist she came
along with a tune she's always loved,
coating me in eeriness,
my throat with lumps choked and eyes misting over.
she drew nigher in distinctness,
in flowing frock she stood,
her smells of a familiar fragrance,
with gems adorning her neck,
armilla on her arms,
wing tips covered her feet,
coronal she wore on her head,
same petal from the wreath on her bier.
her looks made decades like yesterday
a sight defying pondering.
there she stood in glorious beauty, casting me in deja vu.
Drink my love, drink
don't think of me a feign,
she plead
love concedes no evil.
nadir of life I've seen you went,
your spirit a raise need.
I knew for me you'll come
not now will I let you through.
your heart called,
mine, a beat skipped,
bringing us to meet.
heart never lies
neither death do they know,
but to love till eternity tasked.
welcome to the never-never land
she said handing me vino in a pewter
its taste took away my fears,
into memory lane I journeyed.
you'll be great
belief beats fate
peace will come
time is ticking near
it troubles me there alone you're
My Love I'll make a halo over you.
Love, my love, the one that loves,
with all your heart, do.
return I must now
my time yon this line is nearing
my last gift you may have now,
drink from this chalice
it'll keep you, my love
in albescent she left
leaving me with hope
from a sip of her elixir I awoke,
into reality her words looms.
