Conquer

Love is the greatest conquerer. Greater than even Genghis Khan himself :D

The summer moon rises across the western sky

Olive skinned soldiers stand silent in the twilight

Holding hope that the horizon will live

Apart from the blackened landscape

But it too must succumb to the spreading dark

 

The night sky, imbued with diamonds

A vivid masterpiece on an immense canvas

Sheds light on the barren ground

A glistening lake of crystal violet

Lies just beyond our reach

The moonlight dances with the water

Scattering flecks like light from a prism

We run madly by its side

Our hands clasped together

Our hearts, our minds, our bodies’ race

 

I can feel the world changing

The gloom in exodus

As the shadows and violets

Surrender their arms

To the shades of morning

 

Crimson and ginger appear on the horizon

The distant star begins its ascent

Wild horses stampede into the void

And a lone wolf howls

Night draws its last breath

 

The golden river of radiance

Fills my sight with hope

For the banquet lays before us

Innocence our wine

Companionship our bread

 

The cesspools of shame and doubt

Have gone away to ruin

Your mind no longer confined

Your heart no longer constricted

We are free to live, to love

 

Though the years may pass

And the sun may no longer rise

We may take comfort in the knowledge

That our land will be forever illuminated
For love can conquer all
