The light that shines in your eyes Is like a star in the dark skies This is all so new to me But I guess I should get ready We have been together for ages But it seems we have nothing to write on our pages What if we are old and suddenly useless What more if beauty, we no longer possess? Yet it is clear no one could suffice That this could be our one and only paradise
All things beautiful, loud, and clear All so beautiful below the chandelier You were dancing as graceful as can be And I saw you, staring right at me With your bright, adoring eyes, so young and green I stared back, knowing that sheen What really happened is love, as clearly foreseen Denied, except for one that hid goodbyes And this is our beautiful and perfect paradise
This is our perfect destiny When you and I can see directly We have looked into each other So adoring, it could last forever We have been drawn together That we may last longer And this is fate That our love will never turn to hate Never thought of anything that could lead to demise This is out chance to build our paradise
You were there, dressed and elegant All your jewelry is not meager nor scant And your hair was pulled up your head Your smile is everything, none said You were a symbol of perfection All men wanted to be your protection Lovers would want your salvation And I was the lucky on in the communion We could be like this until forever dies We could have built our perfect paradise
One would be lucky to win your heart As all men did anything, even fall apart What is it that made you start This bent lifestyle, what would impart? But one would be blessed if he has your love That heavenly beauty, sent from above You are beauty and the epitome And I was the lowliest of the three Wealth, power, beauty; I had none otherwise But you took me in and made my life paradise
But this is it; this is the transition Where promises die and nothing is of completion When love finishes its horrifying transformation Where companionship is no longer a satisfaction You were the beauty I admired But now, your taste have soured What did I do to deserve you What did you do to change my view? And this is it; where one will not be nice Crumbling, weakening—that is our paradise
All things terrible, silent, and dim All so dark, night it would seem We wished; I wished this was a dream But we were trapped inside fate's scheme Love, love, love—is this all we have? I can't expect it to heal wounds like a salve Love, it makes one act like a fool Makes you crumble to pieces from a whole What makes you think you can hide the dice And watch me fall apart inside our paradise?
This is our disastrous destiny When all is lost, bound to eternity What could we give to appease the gods We have nothing against all odds But this is just right For someone like me who've lost the fight What else could be taken Wealth, love, power—I've not been given What chance do I have to win the prize As if it was nothing, like our paradise
Times have changed I saw one that seems strange This pain that once tore me to the bone Now made my heart hard as stone Still, I pray that you never left To never have acted the theft I hoped that you have loved me Well enough that I should be happy That I should be glad to pay the price Of building our perfect yet sad paradise

I love this poem so much. That's the only thing I can say about it.
Granted, I don't know what it means but I love how it made me all messed up with emotions deep inside, especially that last line. Owo.
This poem is also a hundred lines long, divided into ten stanzas with ten lines each. One of the longest I've written, honestly.
And is it bad that I based the setting of this poem on Katy Perry's Unconditionally music video?
What do you think? Comment below. :)
