The Ballad of the Starstruck Lovers

 


(A lone voice whispers)


Will you defeat all I am with the divine soliloquies 


Of your sweet tasting love magic



As I venture alone to my designated internal salvation



To be simply reborn in its rejuvenating fire 


To then stand above it all



That to which my soul was born 

Tasked to seek out and call

 



Or will I fall into the deep ravines of histories wayside and dwindle 


As the ever-watchful twinkling stars slowly spoil 



As my faith capriciously tumbles and falls



Have I met you already in person 



In a previous tragic lifetime



As I wandered through all its many dark halls



Or have I simply passed you by before we spoke and is this



The sour-tasting nectar of not knowing



Already written upon the laws of synchronicities 



Universal walls


We both never saw
