In a desolate night on a gravelly path
My feet making noises as I traverse the silence
And the still night tempting me with her charm
Like a lover onto her arms
The moonlight casts a sweet shadow
And gets reflected in the haze
On the pebbles and in the stream
And in the reflection casts a spell
Which draws me ever onward
On the long winding road to eternity
The smell of the earth
Mingles with the freshness of the air
Tempts, seduces and intoxicates the senses
Pushing me into a free fall
Through the rabbit hole into neverland
Suddenly before my eyes
Rise the ruins of the majestic kasbah
Of the mad King of Anotherworld
Who died there unknown and uncared for
Vanquished by love as much as by war
And in his last days grew ever so mad
By love and other drugs
That he pined for his heart
To burst out of his chest
And proclaim his love to the Otherworld
And so I decided to enter the citadel
To feel what is told nevermore
Though the ruins were dark and foreboding
And the path leading therein hardly inviting
As I stepped inside I slipped
And slided helplessly through a pit
Which smelled of death and decay
And I could feel myself shiver
As I landed on the King’s sepulcher
I landed with a thud & let out a groan
And in the darkness thought I heard someone moan
Stumbling along I fell on something hard
And saw that it was a heart shaped box
Attached onto which was a heart shaped card
Written on it was death’s eulogy
And of true love burning bright
And that he who finds the box
Must not give in to terror & flight
And judge in his own time and space
If there’s ever been a greater example
Of love in all its majesty and splendor
Diminished by none and ever so proud
On the threshold of immortality’s door
And so as I opened the box
I recoiled back in surprise and terror
When I saw the bloodied heart therein
Still beating like a primeval engine
Pining for her: the King’s lover
Yay!!
