Two parallel thoughts, wishing to become one. Experimental structure. |
This poem is about a Man and a Woman from adjacent though adversary countries, whose National Days, celebrate victories over each other. The two of them have fallen in love beyond boundaries or differences and the only thing that keeps them apart is distance and social prejudice. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Alone Alone each night each night he gazes across the ocean she gazes across the ocean where his beloved resides. where her beloved abides. He whispers words of love to the wind She is listening to what the wind holds with his eyes full of tears with her eyes full of tears and a crave in his thoughts: and a wish in her thoughts: The day two races conciliate. The day two worlds reconcile. Each night Each night he renounces his heritage. she renounces her legacy. Alone Alone with her memory with his memory he stands strong she stands firm ...for her for him... Fear besets his soul Fear besieges her soul and deprives him of his sole dream: and deprives her of her sole dream: The day he will be with her, The day she will be with him, T O G E T H E R A S O N E Any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental. |
