In a forbidden city that raved for defeat and downfall
yet not to destroy immortality dancing with dark ness,
tempting rhythms as obedience defying lyrics wail
and constricting hearts fight to not fall out from favor.
During youthful and bright hours of twenty and three
more enemies than fellows permeate unending views,
lifetimes traveled beyond after time's abrupt stop
that lengthens the pain the rage the tears and love .
An unattended birth and a vows exchange union
without ceremony surfaced from buried memory ,
giving life warms a chilled spine within a death grip
but no desire for the release when time moves again.
About the Creator

I’d return from the grave and do it all over again for playing the violin and writing poetry. Yet there’s always the possibility for worlds to collide and dash bliss, as countless times before.
“defeat my self-knowledge and defiance” Gibran
