To my old love



 (A lone voice whispers)


So 

We part


Forever apart


The red stage curtains

Slowly closes


As our precious time is ceremoniously called


On our once beautiful age


But you 

My rare Juliet rose

Will live on


Flourishing

In a neverending

Garden 


Of deep lucid dreams


Hidden away

From prying eyes


In my own

Great In-Between


Where you'll live

Onstage 


On a much-loved memories

Page


Lit up with a spotlight

That makes you glow


Where I'll forever see

You dance the sensuous

الرقص الشرقي

The legendary Danse du Ventre

And remember those

Good old days


As a Teddy Pendergast

Record plays


Good night 

My only love


My rare Juliet rose


In a world

Awashed in Djinns


Selling soul contracts

For sins


Leading to neverending tears of 


Depression

Sadness and Regret


May the sweet winds

Of happiness


Caress you

And forever blow


And remind you of

Me


The Midnight Prince

Who once came through


The shimmering 

Astral blue portal 


The now immortal 

Thief


In your inner

Temple


Who I pray

You'll never forget


As my memories

Cover you in goose pimples


For our meeting

And all our sweet whispers


Written metaphors

Cyphers and poetic symbols


Where never meant to be

Coincidental
