For want of a soul, eternity was lost
A reckless daredevil, his honour sought
Stuttering flower dries on the spot
Entails sacrifice for extra time bought.
For races of strangers dangerously converged
Exchanging ideas that ultimately reversed
Cultural taboos the unity unmerged
Defending traditions, beliefs unheard.
She speaks from corners in a whisper
“Come accompany me to supper
Eat from the tree of forever
It’s all before you, dear lover.”
He considers, looks back and forth
His mind surrounded in a thicket caught
“Where have all my battles been fought?
Some unresolved, others in a single thought.”
