(A lone voice whispers)
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
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
