TEARS OF THE WORLD

It was sweet walking through a black forest
sight was sweetened by the taste of mystery
but temptations seem to entice miracles
love on the beach electrifies a smile on the sea
kissing on a flawless veld quenches like waters of heaven
a wave to the ocean entices affectionate storm
a kingly palace stands proud with a queenly presence
for a heart against the world
its love cannot be quenched by a thousand suns
Playing the pipe
did not hold any water
when my dearest of friends wanted to dance
only for the curtains to be raised before realization
the world desires to break etiquette
a custom in its culture of mockery
and soon my dearest suffers prophesies of Cassandra
that entice phrased deceptive lottery
worth of priceless affection is beaten to dust
only for the clouds to rejoice in infinite happiness
soaking the poor dust to be mad
I was seven when I was promised heaven
but after twenty three summers winter still reigns
for seven autumns certainty still hanged on a thread
as the future waited for a tailor to sew it
while whistles of fear created lilt in happiness
tears have formed rivers which nurture crocodile
comfort of regret only raises victory of farewell
and poor hearts heavily burdened separate ways
only for the world to vibrate in laughter
only for the hearts to vibrate to songs that falter
The cloak of protection is naked
worth of unearthed treasure is an expensive mystery
for the goldsmith laughs at the earth
which enviously buries wealth
heads will roll when hearts fall
my dearest heart screams in anguish
after the world gave it reasons of it being a guest
that forgetting my dearest friend was a quest
that I fulfilled after being truly deceived
let it be a cry of the world
as I bid farewell to unlimited treasure
it freezes me to become an ice cube in your wine...
