A RING OF WHITE PEARLS
After a trial
Of long wait and tears
After a life
Of utmost darkness of tortures
As we promised
Beyond this earth
We would unite
In an ethereal world.
In return of our patience
In return of torments immense
A reward would unfurl
Then, I would adorn your finger
With a ring of white pearls.
Every being
of heaven and earth
Would celebrate
Our sanctified mirth.
Fairies would be jealous
Of your indian dress
I would buy you
From a mysterious place.
Basking in the lukewarm sunshine
Of pristine love
I would adorn your finger
With a ring of white pearls.
