Poem: Another Realm

Things happened in another realm

Before now

Elusiveness. love. hate

Betrayal. devotions. commitment

Spirituality and ascensions

Truly unrevealing; faintly vague

Descensions were the out-point

Things happened in another realm

By and by

Immortality was a daily bread

Where morning does not live

Sun unwaking and night never sleeping

Authority I disposed

My life a royalty: a polygamist of colors

My power forever; power my venom

From  the unseen seas

Where waters of life flow to sight-see

I descended with urge

My soul shot forth

And shrouded not like clouds

But so much more

Purposeful and predestined

Déjà vu sounds

Echo in my footsteps

Past so untimely yet not farfetched

And  my reference my life

Moving a pawn’s way
