three thousand years

yellow, orange, green, pink and blue

brilliant hues of colours

streak across the sky
forests, mountains and gushes of rivers and streams

paled

in comparison

but

the mountain of sorrow

of guilt

pain

and misunderstanding

will stay right here

next to me

inside me

forever

the nightsky

shedding tears of moonlight

stars

blinking unspeakable grief

remembering

our story

milleniums ago----

you stood here

amidst the flowers

and i

by your side

nothing felt so perfect

until the arrow

and the ringing clash of

sword against sword

shining

as the tears of moonlight

you lay on the bed

of red grass

promising me

with a smile

"I'll wait for you."

and now,

i'm waiting

beneath the same moonlight

on the bed of grass

no longer stained by your soul

my tears

our memories

all that remains

is the story

three million years ago

and i'm

still

waiting...
