Saw the movie late into the night. Then saw it some more. The poet in me woke, and here is a piece by your's truly:
I dreamt of you in your majesty, rising from east, like morning’s bloom
But the dream was to end unfinished, as reality cast its doom
I looked for you when I woke, in songs, in books, and in plays
But every time you fade and float away, as reality webs its ways
The songs never suffice, nor the books nor the plays
The love they weave is a shadow, not one to last till end of days
In their illusions I rejoiced, aye! And danced like a lover might
But as they end, I see me, being stranded alone for all nights
Of the glorious song ending, and you, becoming a memory again
Untouched, unheard, unreal and such a sweet pain
You torture me whilst I sleep, yet I yearn for it awake
What spell have you cast on me sorceress, that I dare not break?
You come to me faceless, yet only you I see where eyes may go
You I dream, you I see, and you I shall have, if destiny wills it so
By night I fear, to lose you with morning as the sun claims
By day I long for night, to hold you, and kiss you again
It is a story to be mocked, a fool and his lover’s quest
But one day we shall embrace, your heart beating next to my chest
And Then I shall see your face, gleaming as its beauty shames the moon
And with sun we shall rise, together, a dream fulfilled
And that day shall be my boon.
