Forgone

Lived a deity
Hitherto a stranger to calamity.

Still, no heart is immune to love
And fate chose a worldly creature
To charm our young God.

The Gods took heed
Masters of creation
Were filled with fury.

No God could halt such passion
No power could forestall such zeal
I defy thee, rulers of the universe
I condemn eternity without her.

At last... Liberty
A divine pariah
Stripped of Immorality
Seeking comfort in the realm
of the mortals.

Eyes glisten with passion
Her touch confirms
a gesture of tenderness
A single nignt they spent
Entwined in one last embrace.

Awakened by wrath...

Lo the stench of death filled the place
Darkness enshrouds them
As Gods cast their vengeance
Silence govers over
moment drear and sick
She lays dying
Still graceful as night
Elegant as fall...

Cries unanswered
Orisons unrequited
I cease endeavors
And ponder my escape...
Death comes at last
What is mayhem for man
Is merely solace for me.
