a beautiful woman stands in a flower garden, surrounded by towering trees. Flowers are woven in her hair, and she looks down in quiet contemplation. Over the silent decades, veiled from sight, I stagger, intoxicated, leaving this mortal coil. My soul, a mossy casket, cradles ancient secrets, A fragment lost to the eons’ relentless toil. In love, I sway to an unfinished melody, Notes suspended, waiting for completion. Pity and fate intertwine, filling my cup, The poetic wine spills, staining my perception. Why, then, this drunkenness with your lover? If you hold the answers, why the vow’s delay?
