On the deserted Battle field…
Were the ruins of the castle built in the sky
A few sunbeams peeped through the horizon
Too weak to offer anyone to my weary soul.

I experience distractions upon distractions
And felt tremendous longings for the love I had
Putting up with thoughts of the ones I use to love
Sweet-sad reminiscence broke into my heart.

The volatile affection of one was remembered
The girl who breached the hedge of my heart,
Ploughed the ingenuous soil of my soul
And explore its innocent field...

We knew the gratifying nectars of our lips
And dared to drink from the well of our souls
Our passions grew unlawful but did not see the side of the wall.
Not a tie so strong have I known of a woman like hers.

Then another, an elegant gift I felt unworthy to own...
But then she walked into my life bearing the semblance of hope
I paid prices she was unworthy to have
My raring prayers stirred compassions for the future I cannot see
-For she was such a grace without depth!

I dived into her beautiful shallow heart…
I was broken, for such promises of hers were never true.
In her heart were distractions that outweighs her commitment
That I never knew, perhaps such risk I would never take.

To Avalon! Lay my resentful past to rest
The dwindling verge of tears and laughter
To Oblivion! Let the awful memories be gone!
You’ve taught me, no ordinary woman can journey with me.

But a titan shall come with the heart of a mother
With prudence and knowledge she will come
Like an arrow in the Lord's bow she will fly by my side
And together we shall win the Lord's battle.

When all the storm shall finally pass,
Nothing of my hope shall lay crumbled.
My prowess and flaws shall be written in the chronicles
Posterity shall know not me but the God that wield me.

For though I dwell ten thousand years from the stars,
I shall cross the great distance in a flash.
And stand at the luminous threshold of celestial shores
That shall dissolve the present, past and future in eternal bliss.
