As soon as the Sun was gone, She started her trip, Leaving away that annoying reality She was there, On time and through the purple light, She ran all the way Leading to Shahryar's castle. On his throne, He was waiting, It seemed like ages, Centuries, But as the night came, Shahrzad was there In his hands, Smiling and announcing The beginning of another Holy night. "What happened to the princess With sad eyes?" Asked Shahryar "In that dark, dark place, She was stuck. She lost her crown, her name And her identity. She was thrown in that tough Period of time When she didn't know anybody" Said Shahrzad "She didn't lose her identity, Shahrzad, Since she was still suffering. Her beautiful sad eyes Are the strongest proof that She didn't lose her identity. She only needs to find her place, Her time And her king" Said Shahryar "Yes, your majesty Her beautiful and sad eyes Were suffering in a crowd Of lifeless eyes.. Evil and dumb eyes Were everywhere around her, She ran and ran for ages... And as she started to cry By that lonely river, She saw his eyes, His wide brown eyes They were wild as the wolf Charming but sad And she knew it was him. But he's not real. He’s a ghost and maybe a spirit He’s somewhere else In a faraway land. She walked away With a broken heart in her chest And those wide brown eyes Engraved in her heart. And in the water of the crystal river Where they were sitting His majesty looked at himself in the water And smiled as he had seen His wide brown eyes next to him, He starred at Shahrzad's beautiful sad eyes And said: "Say Goodbye to sadness, Shahrzad Even if for the night Your nights are mine Shahrzad, So let me colour it.. Let me take you back to where You belong" « return. |
