They arrived with life and joy
Surrounded by peace as it shone
Above miseries and hardships to be thrown
They grew within, unaware, unbeknown
A time slip into the future now
Where dreams are crucified at dawn
Where beauty loses admirers to fawn
And truth is linked to the devil’s spawn
A love, pure but not unbreached
A promise to live and die in peace
Together and ever inked in schist
But the petals keep falling, so does the beast
Miraging opulence for righteous devotion
Misfit souls are put together
Thus losing their soulmates forever
For formalities that don’t even matter
Writhing in pain, wings clipped, lay two doves
Grief in their hearts, will they perish?
Or is hope as incredible as they say at finish
To mend their wings and grant their wish
All they had done was cross borders
Of selfish walls, of hokum chores
Of empty castles doomed at mindless shores
To carve a way devoid of doors.
