Poem: “Thus Ruins of Us” by Prince Quality

THUS RUINS OF US

We were once

like a sandstorm.

Inexperienced in many ways,

but we still left the sky with dust of mutual feelings.

We were once

like the ocean and its waves.

The flow of experience shift between calm and  turbulent,

crashed and receded.

We were once a morning dewdrop.

Adoring ones beauty

Sparkling with a zing

Reflecting one’s tender soul

just like looking in the mirror

We were once a poem.

A music of the soul

Whispers of the heart.

The happiness said to be under the horizon.

We were once a song.

A harmonious blend of rhythm.

Like on a canvas we painted vivid pictures of our melody.

A song that faded in the echoes of emptiness, loneliness and hollow.

All that is left, the melody

A melody

Thus Ruins of us.
