it was i ...

...........................................................................................................

last night, i had a dream
at the riverside, hand in hand with her, my ultimate love
what a hazy day, she said, as the mist of water arose
part of land covered with descended clouds
as we trod wild flowers scatteredly found
she skipped around like a playful bird
and still,
embraced the secluded creation with her sweetest smile
mellifluous melody whispered in the wind,
lighting up those forever seductive eyes

suddenly, at a flick of sight
earth torn asunder
was shaken with roaring thunders
it was i, the mischievous transfiguration
she was totally astonished -- inflicted in the pool of dread
from those fearful eyes, forming a crystallized drop, shed
snarling about
it was i, the invisible beast
laid in the dirt where her precious body was found
neither pity nor love could quench away the thirst -- no need!
i thirsted! i envied for a lick of lust!
that dark, latent desire wildly ingested into my blood
uncontrollable -- i moaned
but then, my shadow cravingly extended its shade
and my breath of life was as cold as the corpse -- fate!
it was i, the heart of stone

unexpectedly,
it was i, the prince of darkness was overthrown,
awakened by the cry of my ultimate love
i found myself evading like a thief
willingly carried a burden of grief
betraying my own kind
extremely scared of the daylight
i hid at the bottom of the pit
banished for the given world
it was i, the culpable soul ...
