They talk on kitchen tables <br />When they discuss the fables told <br />They talk of the one story <br />Time’s leash could not hold <br /> <br />They talk as the weather turns <br />They talk as the snow falls <br />They talk as the sun shines again <br />They talk as the earth crawls <br /> <br />Have you heard the story <br />Of the girl that once was <br />As fate once decided <br />To eat away with its claws <br /> <br />The girl that stood mightier <br />In the face of everything <br />From the brink, brim to the cusp <br />She let her soul’s cry sing <br /> <br />They talk of the flame that lived <br />Burning in all its might <br />They talk of the love that rose <br />As the strongest eagle’s flight <br /> <br />As the last rose wilts <br />They rest united in their graves <br />Their love eternal like the shore <br />Unscathed by the countless waves <br /> <br />They talk of the girl <br />That lived through it all <br />They only see the false façade <br />They stand blind to her last fall <br /> <br />They talk of their undying love <br />That survived the hypocritical times <br />Their story now remains alive <br />Forever, in these rhymes <br /> <br />Come sit with me now <br />I’ll tell you the great story <br />How they lived or fade away <br />In their search for endless glory <br /> <br />All they do is talk <br />Leaving an imperishable stain <br />Do you see this now, my love <br />Forever timeless, we remain<br /><br />Ridah Ellahi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-timeless-tale-recommended/
