Messenger

Neither fate nor reason

My heart has been annihilated

Held accountable for high treason

 

I have gone far to declare my plea

Barriers crossed and persuaded vestals

Your beauty swallows me up like the sea

 

Love’s anthem has been sung by choir

No matter how many mountains or oceans I shall travel

My covet for you will never tire

 

Early sunrise brought morning song

Master’s root birthed angelic trinity

It is to you, which I belong

 

I have selected the clandestine mask for my war

In and out I’ll drift like a howling wind from past

A heart like mine is not easy to ignore

 

With each passing tide

I’ll follow your forever scent

There is no captor who can hide

 

Early on you became my keeper

When you harpooned my heart

I fell in love with you deeper

 

I melted at your mesmerizing allure

My chronic disease escaped

You were my only cure

 

You are the continuing catalyst

That makes my timepiece go forth

I promise you another tantalizing tryst

 

An angel filled with compassion

Yet it was you who abandoned

And sent for my assassin

 

In your absence I’ve become dead

Your sweet voice still echoes

I hear what you said

 

Denying our unification

One cannot evade for long

For it is love’s greatest violation

 

Thicket of thorns bound my head

All angels of sympathy visit my gate

Each adversary wishes I were dead

 

Sentenced to multiple years

Confined in shackles under darkness

Each river you cross is made of my tears

 

For eternity I will find my means

Even from this forced exile

Every night I’ll infiltrate your dreams

 

You enslaved my heart

Once free from this prison

It’s not easy to begin another start

 

You were my sanctuary of tranquility

Only an artist’s death

Can create such legendary visibility
