Why Did I Love You, Nebuchadnezzar ?

From the poem series of ‘Nebuchadnezzar and his untold story’

 

 

There was a dream behind the gate of Ishtar

A dream began to form in the deepest field of existence

 

Have you seen it?

 

I have already seen 

What you saw

I already known 

What you knew

Behind the castles

Over the clock towers

This ever-timely existence brought you to me

Whereas you were a nothing sitting in your kingdom

 

I knew it all, but knowing never created a true path

Letting go has never become that easy 

and taking it back has never become so hard

And everything we shared took such form in shadows

Universes came together, but they never did heal any wounds

 

We were speaking in another language

vibrating in another field

Between existing and not existing 

Between disappearing and disappearing

Everything happened between the tree of life, 

purple bunches, rose tree, tree of non-existence,

pains of existence, heartache, water leakage,

between acacias, silk tree, magnolias 

And, you reached Babylon...so what?

The light of your kingdom has gone out

The emeralds in your heart are black now,

Your words had turned into white flowers now,

You withered them all, and 

Now what?

You asked for prophecies from black panthers

You wished for love from high powers

But everything was inside you

There was a dream behind the Ishtar Gate

You saw the dream, so now what? .

 

And now you question yourself, and everyone is still silent

Why did they love you that much, Nebuchadnezzar?
