    • MY BRIDE

    21,October,2020 by

    Long and Long I waited, endlessly, for you
    Far and Far I ventured, maddingly, for you
    To the deepest depths of Styx, I damned myself for you
    To the paramount peaks of Blue, I ascended high for you
    O, my soul! Your radiance bewilders me

    I sought for you among the trees
    Dressed in majestic silky fleece
    I sought for you among the insects
    Adorned with ornamental trinkets

    I sought for you among the beasts
    With your lips purer than priests
    I sought for you among the runes
    Hair fragranced by jovial Junes

    I sought for you among the humans,
    For You, I searched the frigid south,
    For You, I searched the turbulent north
    For You, I searched the scornful west.
    For You, I searched the pitiful east

    But with mournful tears,
    I found you saddened
    I found you wounded
    I found you chained
    I found you condemned
    I found you abandoned

    (Your torn fleece
    Your broken ornaments
    Your scarred lips
    Your tousled hair
    Your teary eyes
    Sears my heart)

    Yet your presence soothes your oppressors?
    Yet your heart trusts their successors?
    O heinous concubines of pride
    Why do you strangle my bride?
    Why persecute my bride?
