the darkness has fled towards the horizon,
afraid of your wrath, fearful of being discovered.
your anger at the inevitable
leaves them cowering for mercy.
the skies have folded over, to hide from the sun,
the trees bend down
praying to be spared from your despair.
your black eyes, flashing thunder
is what i dreamt of yesterday.
i saw you
as the king of hatred.
the same look on your face
as on that fateful day
when we told each other
what should never be said.
i saw you
as the ruler of fire.
the same desperation in your eyes
as on that forbidden night
when we explored the unknown,
staying awake till twilight
as lonely people do.
your fury will burn down our world,
a far better plight
than my love that will destroy our souls.
