Ocēlōxōchitl (oh-seh-loh-shoh-cheetl)

Timayana

Amidst the chaos of battle's cruel sting,
Souls found solace, taking wing.
From walls to wild's embrace,
A love defied forbidden grace.

Once a lowly guard in the court's array,
Found love, come what may.
In the tumult of siege and chaos untold,
Hearts beat as one, a love to behold.

Through years of desperate fight,
Love burned bright in the darkest of night.
But fate's cruel twist, a tragic refrain,
Fell. Life claimed by pain.

In the second world, as a jaguar warrior bold,
Manauia's love for Montecamina still untold.
From temple to siege, a bond remained strong,
A love enduring, amidst right and wrong.

Ahmō Intlā

Amidst the siege's cruel plight,
Find refuge in the night.
In your arms, my fears take flight,
A love - a beacon - in war's darkest blight.

Through war's relentless strain,
Endure. Filled with pain.
In damp nests, the spirit wanes,
Yet through love, the soul sustains.

Fate's cruel hand, a tragic tale,
Montecamina falls, her spirit frail.
A water disease claims her, without avail,
Her love for Manauia, beyond the pale.

In the second world, a new dawn breaks,
Montecamina's spirit, still awake.
Even married, her heart aches,
For her love, her soul still takes.

After war's brutal storm,
A heart, heavy and worn.
Children loss, her spirit torn,
Yet for love, forever sworn.

Here is a set of companion poems written by a young couple in the Nemachtiloyan to express their growing affection.
By happenstance, they both took inspiration from the occeppa story and referred to each other as their equivalent partner in the style of the Tecpillahtolli.
