Unknown

This saga doesn't end here neither did it start here. This particular stanza is about his unknown mistake.

That raft of penguins had souls of many forms.

A few were nice, some diabolical, but only the two beautiful ones.

The female had an aura that attracted all.

The male was someone who was in his own world all along.

A while later he realized that the female would complete his world.

With the best intentions he asked out the girl.

She fell for his innocence and decided to be with him;

Something that couldn’t be accepted by many others of them.

He, to many was unknown whereas she was the queen of hearts.

They were gleeful when they were around one another.

Weak, when they would yearn for each other.

Years passed, everyone accepted that their fate was written as ‘one’.

But not the jealousy ridden penguin who wanted her around.

He introduced her to a world, completely different.

Gullible as she was, she saw the image he pictured as substantive.

‘The male was a swindler and the evil was innocuous’.

Dilemma befell upon her as to whom to trust.

On one hand, her soul, on the other hand, her love.

She trusted everyone; little did she understand whom to believe.

The male noticed her changing, but ignored.

The rage inside her heart only made things sore.

The evil wanted her now with no further delay.

He cut him out of the picture.

Got intoxicated by her and sent away.

The evil, with his pure heart from then on was innocent to all.

Everybody was joyous but how she felt was the enigma.

The male asked what his mistake was.

Again, there was no answer.

And yet another raft left him to rot...

In the air with truths and complete in tuned with the gods you are, embracing what they allotted you. A unique perspective on love between two souls and the relentless journey through unpredictable events and circumstances that unravel its world towards you like a ball rushing and crashing into your ankles. Love can be a Halo in reverse. This poem of yours reminded me of this song called "Condemnation by Depeche Mode". Check it out on youtube and it speaks similar themes you have presented here like love and pain, and life in general. Keep writing my friend enjoyable.

Sincerely your friend in poetry and life.

A very captivating poem. Words have been beautifully used. It seems to have come straight from the poet's heart.
