Celestial Heaven's Flame

Please, meet me on the heaven’s flame—
The one that sits like a dew drop upon the clouds
In the heartless night sky.

When mother earth’s life blood becomes barren,
When her bones rot and decay,
When her ambient shield begins to weaken,
I will not be here.

When black and white end their timeless dance,
Without a doubt
The light thief, forever keep his peace,
And when the sky candle burns out,
You will not be here.

So, please!
Before the flame burns to a timespace trap,
Before Atlas abandons his merciless burden
Let the hope jar bring to you a celestial map.

And there you will surely save me:
From my numbing nightmare.
We can be consumed by eternity;
And we will still be there.



Okay, this enigmata is more like a love poem than a Valentine's Day poem...But that aside, this poem is for a fictional character whom I really like. Let's call him "Primo", because he ranks first of the fictional characters I like. In the fantasy/adventure/action fiction that he's in, he represents the harmony of the sky, which is why I used a lot of night and sky imagery. In this fictional story, "flame" is personified as his fighting strength and determination, which is why I used "heaven's flame" as a kenning for the place we will meet. The fact that Primo is only a fictional character means that I can only meet him in my dreams or nightmares, which is the entire meaning of my poem. I chose him to write to because I really admire his leadership abilities and his wisdom, and I hope the one who saves me from my nightmares in the future is just like him.
Anyway, I apologize if my kennings confuse you...but I'm not about to spoil your fun by explaining my entire poem.
Enjoy!
