destruction

adrift on a sea of indifference. ignored to the point of non-existence. half remembered dreams of love and fulfillment blister the wounded soul. wanting only acknowledgement of a time once cherished. where once a sun brought new growth to once fertile fields. the darkness now chokes hope from the breath of tomorrow. saline tears bring false hope to a parched and dying desert. an oasis of love once existed amongst these rocks. a date palm provided shelter for two worlds intertwined. stars sang songs of eternity at their joining. ever vigilant the fallen one planted the seeds of discontent before the vows creation. nurturing envy, feeding spite, medicating despair with the blood of the saints. collapse of matter is the destiny of each universe, collapse of love is the price paid for building a future on a false premise. for ignoring the warning signals. for accepting the gifts of the magi without proper contemplation of the cost. years pass, the walls crumble. the occupants though remain wrapped in silk. oblivious to the destruction that surrounds them.
