• The bright shine of rubies red and sapphires blue,
    I find beneath the statements of our love;
    For the day we rue is that of one’s departure,
    Not only of body, but of former dreams;
    The departure we cannot comprehend;

    If we looked for the guiding star, we had but to
    Look at the other, the show of commitment and dreams;
    We sought all ‘twas needed, nothing more;
    But oh, the day has come, the kindness here, all a
    Wall, a mask, a shield of sadness, for both;

    On a silent meal, I pray the chance, one last, to cleanse
    The heart of her, the one I committed long ago,
    My life, heart, soul, and all, nothing hidden from her;
    If she looks the eye of mine own, I shall return the best,
    Hoping for the final moment to come naught;

    If the door she seeks, stop her, I must resist, for
    Her, one I respect, as a friend, perchance more;
    Atop the threshold she shall pass, regret shall overtake;
    I shall have a final, but without any control, removed
    From all power I control, e’en if little can be giv’n;

    But so, if I control, maintain for full ages,
    A love, uncontrollable shall sweep and strike over us;
    For so, love shall end of freewill, yet love cannot
    Begin, a strength incomparable, a mighty stone;
    It begins as a fledgling anew, reincarnated:

    Thus shall the love progress, one that shan’t be slain;
    Age to age, it shall overcome any and every,
    Plowing for the harvesting day of time;
    Up shall come an embrace, soon a gifting of lips,
    Perhaps more e’en, the loss of youthhood;

    Oh the trial I now face, a lovely flower it shall bloom,
    Or a cut, leaving my soul to spill and lessen;
    Now I must entreat, whether love embraces or slaughters
    My soul, I shall journey on, refreshed or shattered,
    A rabbit, in touch with nature and one with all;
