Rhapsody In Time

Rhapsody in Time

I walked inside a maze

To find myself in ecstatic daze

In a time we both didn’t exist

In a place no one could ever resist.



Opening my eyes with you looking at me

Questions in those eyes are what I see

Same queries I severely desire to unravel

In this very unique and astonishing time travel



Heavy footsteps broke our silent question

Terrified for the upcoming interrogation

I couldn’t find my voice to speak

Have I been able to muster a sound above a squeak

Still no words could ever suffice

To explain what transpired that was concise



Then suddenly you stood for me,

Made a deal to safeguard me

That selfless act was so unexpected

Never in my life have I felt more protected



Turning back the hands of time

Dancing the rhythm as old as rhyme

We discovered ourselves in each other’s eye

Living this life was more real than lie.



In a festive occasion we were beckoned

You’re popular with the ladies is what I reckoned

While catching the eye of the dweller’s king

As I sang the song I loved to sing





Such a problem it has become

When my heart needs to overcome

The emotions I have for you

While ducking the affections of the ruler too.



Such aristocracy cannot be denied

How can I run to stay by your side?

Though I learned to love this place

A different time would cut the chase



So we came back to where we first met

In the maze as soon as the sun has set

The royal guards were on our heels

The next scene has brought me chills



A beaming array of colourful light

Came bursting through the frisky night

The darkness consumed by a blinding light

My consciousness left without a fight





Waking up I sensed familiarity

The faint scent of smoke, bums, ad poverty

I was back in my reality

Crying to see you’re not with me.



I guess we’re meant to be apart

The king didn’t win but neither did my heart

It was the maze that brought us together

This was its way to show it’s not forever.



In this love story you will find

An ending that is not very kind

True lovers who fight for each other’s see

That they can’t win if it’s not meant to be.



No, this is not a love story

It's a love LOST in history

A love made from up above

This is a story about OUR love
