:. [ Truth's Death (Poem) ] .:

I dreamed from the back of a rotting horse
You and me and a vision of us
We walked like kings and we grew pale wings
We saw no death no ill despair

But soon he came and he said to me
'Your love will arrive and the old one flee'
Believed him not and cast him out
Too foolish to see the desert

Oh, oh, kingdom of the sky, kingdom of the sea and the air I breathe
He came to me on my horse and wings
And he said it was ending

Oh, oh, kingdom of the earth, kingdom of my country my home I fear
The days of dark are drawing near
I see no escaping

I thought I saw as my horse ploughed on
A glimpse of a being in an instant long gone
I dreamt that night of a dying flame
And I woke in the morning

The sun blazed down from the heavens above
From God and his haven and his lone white dove
My prayer heard my will be done
Do not let her leave me

Oh, oh, kingdom of the sky, kingdom of the sea and the air I breathe
He came to me again last night
And said it was ending

Oh, oh, kingdom of the earth, kingdom of my country my home I fear
My will be done my prayer heard
I want her to leave me

The masquerade and beguiling shade
Drew me to its splendour
I danced and wove and I saw no move
Made towards me

I felt he lied and I felt she cried
As I honoured our memory
For how could I have loved so much
Then let it die from a few words?

Oh, oh, people of their word, people of the poor and the rich I beg
Take care of her in later life
For now I am leaving

Oh, oh, spirit of the land, guardian of the angels and prophets I plead
Think not of I as wicked or cruel
I obeyed his prediction

A million moons did pass the time
I watched them circle by
I ran and fled and flew with broken wings
And still heard no new cry

I felt he lied and began to cry
Wishing no happiness would come by
For if I'd gone and left the one
What life could I have?

Oh, oh, kingdom of the sky, kingdom of the sea and the air I breathe
Return my love and let it be
I do miss her badly

Oh, oh, spirit of the land, guardian of the angels and prophets I plead
I miss her so and need her here
For there is no-one else now

My rotting horse fell to its knees
Succumbed to the sand and the desert heat
I saw no hope I saw no light
I dropped and I shattered

In blurry dreams hallucinized
He came and he laughed as I begged and cried
He swore the truth, I was pulled upright
And he sent me off in the desert night

Oh, oh, women sweet and fair, come and see me there and fall for me
I left my love to please you all
And now need you madly

Oh, oh, mind of my own, eyes searching wild I beg you find
Find the love he promised me
Sanity is crumbling

Eleventh hour, fifty-ninth minute
I saw a shooting star and reached up and caught it
In the palm of my hand it glimmered there
The epitome of beauty

I wished for love that I'd searched long for
And hoped for the Gods to answer my prayer
The clock struck once my deaf eardrums
I saw nothing of her

I dreamed he lied
And knew I was right
From the very beginning


Written a while back. Just wanted to see what you guys would think, or if anyone would notice.

Wow, Now that is one powerful poem!

Orchid; Thanks

Orchid; Thanks <3

Allice; To tell the truth, it is more of a song than a poem. All of my poems end up like that; I hear them in my head and they're songs. Song-poems. I don't know~ But thankyouuuuah <333
