this is something i cooked up during one of my many ho boy....here we go again...... evening highway trips to hyderabad.....i chose to listen to this megalomaniac poet ! represent the moon as a leader, a true one......who chose his duty above his heart......
lighting up the unknown, in that azure sky
along with many, but alone and high
the moon is the king for everyone to see
revered by all, feared yet loved is he
shines, a beacon of hope and happiness sent
smiles on the misfortuned, burnt or bent
guides when none would come forth to
punishes when faith dips so far, so few
times did come when our king was felled
humans we, in blossoms-parching dwelled
but he rises again, never losing to defeat
and bigger he rises, in victory hes complete
what sacrifices made ! heart turned stone
the love he yearned, was what left him lone
the maiden who stole his heart, all did see
was the lass of the earth, the easterly sea
alas she became, the suns bride of good
love couldn't be lost, her waves stood
in rage the god banished him, to dark side
her folly now at moonlight, draws a tide
yet he leads, all of earths child, silent
his duty came forth, honor never bent
lighting up the unknown, in that azure sky
along with others, but alone and high
tis a new day today, this day that is now, that is this morn
tis a new world i behold, a day when none seem forlorn
this breeze that blows over, pushing a new awake soul
is a new being too, who bears with him promises whole
i take a new road now, the open highway, not of a city
not of a country, not of a race, the long path with no pity
there are no avenues here, no destinations, no crossroads
i am no hitchhiker, my chariot rages and bears all loads
i carry no chains from my past, i paint no pictures alike
i have burned the cloaks that shrouded me, stabbed a pike
for this journey can carry none that is grey, none that rust
for those horses rage only but ahead, level roads, raise dust
this road accepts me, for who i am, for what i shall be
she cares not of my triumphs, she reminds not my defeats
this road is my companion true, she does not end her stay
this road points only in a direction one, thats ahead and away
i found a dream,and she became my first love
for i saw in her eyes surely a sheen, life pristine
she sang me, the best man, first among all
that i was to lead us to places big, do things tall
her eyes but pools of gold, she, lovelier than a gem spake
"tis your kingdom, yours to take, destiny yours to make"
there is no better than you, no powerful than you
those fields shan't die, azure always the great sky
alas ! she was but a thought of beauty, a wish of the blind
what you dare not heed, nightmares your reality, your need
that maiden broke down, and her eyes bled for a day
blood, that burned my flesh, my shadow lost my way
I bled in my kingdom, my subjects chose me to mock
the ones i led to battle, my friends, stab me for my end
and my crown, thorns it'd become, my throne turned mud
the mighty king of yore washed the dirt, rinsed with blood
I found a nightmare and she became my true love
her eyes were mirrors too, they shone like diamonds true
what i beheld now in her, was me, beauty, truest and bold
a man, cut by battle, scarred by his enemies searing sword
but that man shall wince no more, nor bend knees for mercy
that man has a smile that knows all, he swims waves tall
for he wont be wounded dearly again, nor shall pray to pain
that man shines, a herald of peace, he'll be emperor again
