Garden Of Prometheus

The flying lark laughs at my misery
I move around in forest of hopelessness
I see a cleft, I walk through it
I see Prometheus, his pain and agony
chained to a rock,while the gods above
rejoice at his suffering
He looks at me, and gives a smile
A vile sorrow pecks my heart
I can't feel sorry for him
Its God's order, It shall be a crime
'Tell me your problem oh stranger.'
'in this garden I am the gardener'
I devoid of my thoughts
tell him about my lover's need
soul or heart, which is more important
life or death or love or hate
'ah stranger, you think a lot'
He smiles and tell me a tale
'Will you live if she is not there?
or will you perish if she is there
Its difficult my friend, to think of love and hate
at the same time when your heart is burdened
Your soul or heart, it doesn't matter a lot
give her both and she shall give you in return
her soul and heart...
Mark my words oh stranger from a strange land
I am cursed till eternity
but it was good to speak to you
now just rush back'
I rushed back
thinking she would wait for me at that moon lit cafe
I was late
she had left with someone else
I tried in vain to look for her
I wanted to go back to the garden of Prometheus
'she was here.' he tells me
I curse my fate
'with whom?' I hear my voice
'with someone I myself don't know.'
I walk around the garden
he gives me the permission
its full of blood red carnivorous plants
'you are not edible, you mortal.'
they mock me
I walk around
surprised with each step I take
I see the fates
spinning measuring and cutting
I sit beside them
I ask nothing
they look at me and smile
'you mortal, we are still measuring
you can come some day later.'
I walk on
the garden of Prometheus is so big
And the I see her
I wish I was blind
she was with Thanatos
she looked at me smiled
'I had to come.'
I rush back to Prometheus
'your question is now answered mortal.'
he said
waiting as the sun turns black
the horizon is a signal of blur
I sit down there
there are many more tales
I have to listen
before I leave the garden of Prometheus
