Illusion Of Their Love

Alert to wings of fire, her heart has flown
from heavy horror of aggressive fear
to brood in twisted limbs of that vast tree
that explodes slowly from soil of despair,
blinded by illusion of what should be,
till she breaks free to manage what is real.

Eager to express with clandestine faith
secure felicity of fluent force,
Yasmina laughs with horror of surprise
at shocking silence of martialized wind,
cheated by aggressive theft of desire,
and quivers with compassion to survive.

Bathed in regressive waves of rancid hope,
contrived by voices who demand she pray
with obedient submission, she escapes
comprehensive strictness of binding laws
to dance with brittle joy on restless shores
beyond all bounds of false propriety.

Duped by delusion of bland liberty,
she feels was promised by society,
Yasmina plucks plums from time-twisted tree
to taste bitter sweetness of claims denied,
then twirls about on graceful toes of fear
to hide hard-bitten angst of honesty.

Though bombs no longer blast her paradise
to swirling dust of political lies,
stirred by international promises
of protection from hate, Yasmina sings
beautiful hymn to hide anguished despair
with mercurial voice of resigned respect.

Fierce soldier wrapped in shield of bitter hate
for family murdered in the holocaust,
glares at young girl by the broken plum tree,
who knows without doubt of religious faith
he is her loving husband and soulmate
in some other world of the multiverse.

With gentle smile that hides terror of pain,
Yasmina offers Ariel ripe plum
from tree of her heart, so, behind his mask
of blinding rage, his heart stirs from dark cave
to gaze with reverence at her radiant face
with light that dispels cruel storm of regret.

With surprise of the angel stuck in Hell,
Ariel comes to realize with faint hope
that he has met his soulmate in gray ruins
of shattered enterprise, and so they build
in their hearts quaint home with garden of trees
where they dwell in illusion of their love.

Orpheus wanders in ruins of the bombed city, and finds in the ruins one beautiful house with a fruit garden where Yasmina and Ariel raise three children.
