TESTAMENT FROM HEAVEN

It was punishable by tradition,

Arguably a sin of desire,

But my conscience remains clear,

It was worth it, totally worth it,

Besides what’s love without sacrifice

And what sweeter love than risky love

It was past a decade,

A decade of denial and evasion,

I guess we were scared, petrified of ourselves,

Petrified at the possibility of a union,

But  what  ignorance?

For it was divine, a union of destiny

It was a beautiful specter

When we met, a quiet evening beneath the stars,

She stood there tall, proud, a worthy goddess

My heart pounding rhythmically,

I stood there fidgeting, emotionally mutilated,

Then I succumbed to my feelings

In the aura of divinity yet I felt guilt,

Maybe for long I’d taken,

Maybe from breaking barriers,

She was my queen, my comfort,

And I became her master, her shield,

It was a truce, a testament from heaven
