Two Lovers

Gentle whispering through the rustling leaves,

Carried away in the delicate breeze,

Where the night so serene under the stars,

And the moon cradled the earth within its gaze,

Whispering of a secret desire,

Of two hearts yearning for each other,

Two hearts merged into one,

by the spring moonlit, they met in disguise,

unspoken desire in their misty eyes,

as their eyes spoke the longing,

and their bodies wrapped in sweet embrace,

a forbidden love of two enemies,

The air was perfumed with sweet fragrance,

Of white petals blooming in the springtime,

Pure sweet lotuses, the flowers of sanctity,

Of love and sacrifice,

Encircling the two lovers in their grace,

Enchanted night of secret lovers,

The air was soft as fanning wings,

White petals on the pathway kept watching over,

of two faces over a cradle bent,

Gently kissing, before the dawn stole the bride away,

Back into the castle of the enemy,

Where their fate might forever be apart,

The moon shone bright and fair,

Kissed their faces gentle and tender,

Providing refuge of the two lovers,

From horsemen on their horsebacks,

As their disguise was no more,

And their secret was soon to be revealed in haste,

Two hearts merged into one,

Of two faces over a cradle bent,

Hand in hand they stepped bold and courageous,

One last long kiss, before their doom,

As the blade of steel sought a revenge,

Blind and merciless
