Clear Water - Poem

Posted on at


 

Down within the depths of the deep

Where a bit lightweight will solely run.

Lies a kingdom outlined by traditional knowledge

Wealth and power was its core.

 

Till the stretches the blue ran

Over common fraction did it fan.

The kingdom celebrated close to and much

From the stone to the star.

 

In this kingdom of water

Where steps of none falter.

Lived the purest of all

From whom praises fall.

 

Her hair blacker than ebony

Her mind untouched by any law-breaking.

Her skin fairer than the alabaster

Her lips arcuate up in laughter.

 

Her tail was greener than the deepest jade

Other such beauty will ne\'er be created.

Different from the others she was

Her beauty was the cause.

 

Her beauty control several charmed

Her wit left all delighted.

Her grace was divine

Her poise, the epitome of chic.

 

She was the maiden

Her trust undismayed.

She lived true and steady

She lived happy and merry.

 

She was more true than the clearest of water

Lies in her mouth did they falter.

Her eyes shone with sincere honesty

Royalty dotted her ancestry.

 

Unknown to her, jealousy unfold around

Victims several it found.

The other maidens shaped a kin

Together they hatched a devil’s arrange.

 

A devious arrange it had been

Fire within the hatchers did it rouse.

Steely glint in their eyes

Their lips mouthed warcries.

 

In the dead of the night did they attack

The sleepy-eyed palace was balled over.

The troopers fought however vainly

Clear water got an unpleasant stain.

 

The imaginary creature jumped into the fray

Till the tip did she keep.

Suddenly she saw one thing dart

A spear went through her heart.

The morning sun saw red

Clear water wept for the dead.

Far away on the shores of an overseas state

The wind Panax quinquefolius of a dying breath.

 

No longer remained the maiden thus pure

No longer remained the smile thus positive.

They destroyed the unclouded flame

Like alternative waters, Clear water became constant.
