Far from the woes of earth

Lived a deity

Hitherto a stranger to calamity

Still, no heart is immune to love

And fate chose a worldly creature

To charm our young God

The Gods took heed

Masters of creation

Were filled with fury

No God could halt such passion

No power could forestall such zeal

I defy thee, rulers of the universe

I condemn eternity without her

At last... Liberty

A divine pariah

Stripped of immortality

Seeking comfort in the realm of the mortals

Eyes glisten with passion

Her touch confirms a gesture of tenderness

A single night they spent

Entwined in one last embrace

Awakened by wrath...

Lo the stench of death filled the place

Darkness enshrouds them

As Gods cast their vengeance

Silence hovers over moments drear and sick

She lays dying Still graceful as night

Elegant as fall...

Cries unanswered

Orisons unrequited

I cease endeavors

And ponder my escape...

Death comes at last

What is mayhem for man

Is merely solace for me
