IN ANOTHER LIFE

In another life 

You were my light

I prayed everyday

To make you my wife


You fought

Battle after battle

Scarred and marred 

By enemies

And even friends

Green with jealousy 

Of your winning trend


They wanted what you had

You didn’t even care

But you did meet my gaze 

When you saw me stare


Your crystal blue eyes

And your jet black hair

I couldn’t even speak to you

I didn’t even dare


We’re from a different sect

Yours from the sword 

And mine sacred text

So we never spoke in words

But our minds did connect


We spoke telepathically 

Transcendentally

Maybe that’s why 

I want you under me

Another way to speak without words

Butterflies and birds


But here you lay

Unable to speak

Dying and weak

I prayed to the goddess this day

Your enemies I will slay

In spite and rage

Then I will leave this bodily cage

And join you 

In the cosmic disarray 

I will find you again 

Someday
