TIMELESS PATH

Finished it! After many days of contemplating, I finally began writing this poem for my English class.

TIMELESS PATH

Chapter CREATION: Mirror

Trembling, it consumes me.
You’ve gone from this place,
Without a trace.

On that summery night,
The wind howled and
Your untarnished soul was broken,
Into a thousand pieces.

The lead pierced your brain,
And your eyes as cold as ice,
Stared into the darkness,
Until you hit the concrete path.
The pain… it is simply unbearable…

Tears flowing,
I reminiscence over what we held.
We promised to be with each other,
To help each other,
To be each other.

In this unchanging world,
Will unforgivable sins ever be atoned for?
Why did this happen?
Like a mirage in the desert,
This just can’t be real.

Removing your elated mask,
My feelings still remain.
But I continue to ask…
Was everything in vain?
Can we meet, one more time?

If only time could be stopped…
You would be by my side forever…
“Don’t forget,”
“please don’t forget”

In this life we live…
Why do we do the things we do?
Endlessly, we bicker,
And it seems as if good is nothing but a flicker.

Madness is never-ending.
Our agony will never be alleviated,
Our mistakes will be continually repeated,
To the end of time.

This transient reality that is continuing to be relived,
Can’t be true.
Writhing in immense pain,
My image has been sullied
And its filth has been reflected in this mirror.

Chapter CRUX: Heart

Continuing to wonder,
My heart blunders.

To where am I headed?
My heart continues to ask this question.

For what was I born to do?
My distressed heart continues to ask this question.

Now that your smile has vanished,
My beating heart has become lost.

The light,
And even the darkness,
Has broken through my shell,
And into my heart.

Your azure eyes,
Are even now,
Staring into my heart.
And, I to am staring into yours.

“your kindness shall never fade,
And you will live,
Because I will always be by your side.”

Living on, is how we should live.
The future,
As dazzling as it is,
Can be shaped to what we wish it to be;
If we just do our best.
Our hearts shall forever be connected.

Chapter CESSATION: Existence

Ever so gently,
Someone is pushing on my back,
Making me walk forward,
Towards my dreams.

Holding their smile tightly,
One after another,
My feet will take a step forward,
Into the unknown.

The tears are beginning to disappear,
And we are starting to realize,
The immense journey we’ve been on,
Our entire lives.

Like the brilliant sky,
Our story will never end
And it will continue soaring higher,
Into the distant sun.

Our existence may be ephemeral, but
Whether it be anguish or bliss,
Light or darkness,
Life or death,
We shall continue living.

Even though you are gone from this Earth now,
Your life will always be along side me,
On this Timeless Path.

“I,
am
a
Human.”

I fear I may have been a bit to linear with the message being sent across, and a bit to scattered with the cohesiveness of the story, if that makes sense. Also, in case you're wondering, the "Chapters" we originally created just to help me plan out each phase the main character goes through. I may or may not include them when the poem is handed in.

The concept of this poem was heavily influenced by what Gackt is trying to express with his MOON Project. Any comments are appreciated!
Amazing job, Kei. I actually like how you have to think about the meaning, and how you have to actually read to understand the meaning(s) of the poem (as opposed to some random poetry I've read, which makes it blatantly obvious what the message is without making you think).
IMO, very, very good.
