Afterlife: Forever Lost


In the temptation of the sweet entanglements, They lost the sense of desires. In hopes their love would triumph all, Overestimation led to their downfall. When Prometheus ventured to cross the boundary To change the human ways, The struggles he faced were nothing compared To the challenges the lovers faced. Did Aphrodite, who was loved by all, Beseech her lovers And watch them fall? Did Shiva open his third eye When the other gods had dared to defy? Lo! What fools these lovers be To try to change the course of destiny! As all their attempts will soon lead To the single place where all souls feed. Death, thy sweet sanctuary, Will give the two a home, Separated from one another In an unearthly tomb. Forever the souls will part, Going their separate ways, Never to join the body and heart Nor see the light of day.
