YAY I am back from my holiday, and I wrote this! It's something I got when I was watching the Pokemon anime episode about Mismagius.
gateway of shadows
I stand
At the brink of fading trees
Wondering: shall I truly leave?
-
Last night I entered a fantasy
But at the edge of infinity
Living a crazy, crazy dream
I never entertained doubt
Doubt is a monster
-
So I stepped upon the sky
And ran through corridors of cloud
Stairways of sunbeams
Taking me higher
On sentences of wind
-
How absurd!
I found myself at an altar
An endless sky at the other side—
And I leapt
Fell a thousand floors
Through a sky from a painting
-
Landed on a floor countless levels down
To find myself at the altar again—
-
And realization, like a dark bird
Filled my sky
Casting a shadow over my heart
-
For with realization comes disbelief
Truth
The blindfold falls away
The lights extinguish around me
-
And all is shadow
The eyes among dark pillars
Glaring red and blinking
Watching with their breaths held
The deepening heartbeat
A sleeping omen
An onyx gateway
-
No—
-
But the ragged shadow never struck
As it rose from a pool of black and spoke
-
I am sorry.
I longed company
More than just the shadows to play with
More than just the darkness as my friend…
-
Anger
Or pain?
That heartbeat was his, not mine.
-
The clouds falling into crumbled dust,
The skies turning into rustling canopies,
-
The dream had ended.
Turning briefly, I saw a dark wing vanish
Heard a whisper of anguish and pain
-
And I stopped
Turned
Beckoned by his sadness.
-
Take me, I called.
Don't grieve anymore!
Let me be the company you seek.
-
And the whisper became a song
A fantastical plea of gratitude
Black curtains swooped to encircle me
The forests fading, doubt catching hold
Fear like black water
Drowning, drowning…
-
But a whisper comes from amidst the roar
And it says: Thank you.
Therefore I watch the fading trees, smiling.
Doubt is a monster
Doubt is not to be entertained.
-
Shall I truly leave?
-
And I answer that question myself
Leap into my fantasy
Whisper to the world
A silent goodbye
Open my arms
To a silent welcome…
REVIEW. ROAR. I heard that asking for reviews works...
