some say...

some say…
he was born in the valley
where spring never bloomed
and the moon refused to reach

some say…
he wore on his finger a ring
that wore her name
and wore her perfume

some say…
he owned no heart
instead only the memories
filled the space
and he owned no soul
instead only the memories
that bled black blood
for his loss

some say…
he told a story of his kingdom
where he was the king
and she
his queen
and how she owned his heart
and owned his soul

and some say…
when the ocean swallowed the valley
where some say he was born
his eyes smiled with tears
they reflected spring
and reflected moonlight
and they were beautiful
with a tint of the ocean and earth

because

some say…
he knew
he was on his way

    Perhaps his one and only heart was broken and therefore, unable to work. I so related to this Mimi! It is beautiful and sensitive. Lovely thoughts and words!

    Where do our inner most thoughts come from, how do emotions not understood evolve and express themselves into words, and works of art ? You are fortunate to be able to express your thoughts and emotions into a beautiful expression of words and artwork.
