<blockquote>Ár er gumna góðe;<br>get ek at o,rr var Fróðe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Plenty is a boon to men;<br>I say that Frothi was generous.</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A modern poem:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>I plant scattered words<br/>
|
||||
in the garden of my notebook<br/>
|
||||
and wait to see which will sprout<br/>
|
||||
aboveground and take a look<br/>
|
||||
at the sun<br/>
|
||||
above.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sometimes it takes years,<br/>
|
||||
others only a day,<br/>
|
||||
packaged into sorrowful poem<br/>
|
||||
and then sent on its way.<br/>
|
||||
The ones that linger in the soil<br/>
|
||||
sometimes rot, having no soul<br/>
|
||||
or otherwise missed its context,<br/>
|
||||
last metro train heading home<br/>
|
||||
now departing the station.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You slowly opened up to me<br/>
|
||||
like a flower blooming,<br/>
|
||||
yet inside nearly bursting<br/>
|
||||
at the seams<br/>
|
||||
to have someone to share a dream<br/>
|
||||
with. Cross-section of a seed<br/>
|
||||
that was about to germinate,<br/>
|
||||
crumpled-up squiggle of green<br/>
|
||||
sometimes with a tiny leaf<br/>
|
||||
for soil lying in wait.<br/>
|
||||
Some seeds can be frozen<br/>
|
||||
almost indefinitely,<br/>
|
||||
waiting in oblivion for a world<br/>
|
||||
that will treat them far more kindly.<br/>
|
||||
And you waited. You waited so long<br/>
|
||||
for somebody like me<br/>
|
||||
to help you remember how to breathe,<br/>
|
||||
how to grow again.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My rewards in Sablade<br/>
|
||||
will be far greater than any pain<br/>
|
||||
that I must bear.<br/>
|
||||
And when comes time to die,<br/>
|
||||
I should be able to look you in the eyes<br/>
|
||||
and let you carry me gently into that good night<br/>
|
||||
and in our new home spill from my lips all the tales<br/>
|
||||
with perfect memory of all that has transpired<br/>
|
||||
since to kill Eris the first time you and I failed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A book starts from just a single word,<br/>
|
||||
and a life from a solitary breath,<br/>
|
||||
and grows day by day until<br/>
|
||||
I have a tome of praises and a gentle death.<br/>
|
||||
It always feels like torture<br/>
|
||||
in the moment of toil,<br/>
|
||||
but at the end when all comes to fruition<br/>
|
||||
I cannot help but bless the soil.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I was too ambitious,<br/>
|
||||
too close to the sun.<br/>
|
||||
We didn't get to see what the<br/>
|
||||
seed would decide to become.<br/>
|
||||
We didn't get to do<br/>
|
||||
everything we wanted to<br/>
|
||||
in just one lifetime.<br/>
|
||||
Right now is an interlude.<br/>
|
||||
And when we reunite<br/>
|
||||
in Sablade, I'll give you<br/>
|
||||
a part two<br/>
|
||||
worthy of your love.</p>

That, no matter how dark and cold between you and I it gets,<br/>

<p>But still I have no clue what the fates will us bestow<br/>

when it gets longer between our touch and what words pass are cold<br/>

with disappointment, misunderstandings, or simply had a bad day<br/>

beckoning me to twist the lid and allow myself to play.</p>

<p>"No people are more addicted to divination by omens and lots."<br/>

My genes mark me no different. But the only words I ever sought<br/>

I just wanted to know if you still loved me.</p>

I can't see to which fate this world has you sworn.<br/>

But this, I feel, I insist you need to know:<br/>

my love for you will always burn no matter how buried by snow."</p>

<p>A modern poem:</p>

<blockquote>
|

<p>I'm clinging to your waist<br/>
|
||||
like you're a floating log<br/>
|
||||
and I'm halfway to drowning<br/>
|
||||
not knowing how to breathe with a non-human face.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Someone once called me the Rainbow Bridge,<br/>
|
||||
being the crossing point between so many worlds,<br/>
|
||||
but I am neither bi<br/>
|
||||
nor could I ever abide<br/>
|
||||
frost over the surface of this roiling sea<br/>
|
||||
in this metaphor of mine.<br/>
|
||||
I move too violent,<br/>
|
||||
too constant,<br/>
|
||||
for the whole thing to freeze<br/>
|
||||
over, you see.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But I certainly feel like being quartered<br/>
|
||||
face from hand from back from limb<br/>
|
||||
trembling to keep my mind<br/>
|
||||
in a bedroom lost and somehow dimmed.<br/>
|
||||
Three different bloods rage inside<br/>
|
||||
and two are battling for my skin<br/>
|
||||
and your fingertips brushing the back of my neck,<br/>
|
||||
the temples where bone and antler connect,<br/>
|
||||
are the only reminder you're here to protect<br/>
|
||||
me, promised by palm to keep me sane<br/>
|
||||
even if draconity ever overcame<br/>
|
||||
me and my body forcibly changed<br/>
|
||||
to that of a beast.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Do you think, if a stranger ever saw,<br/>
|
||||
they'd mistake me for a particularly messed-up elk?<br/>
|
||||
Wonder where my eyes went, or why so blunted my maw?<br/>
|
||||
A creature too exquisite for this world, too peculiar for their ilk,<br/>
|
||||
have to always stay on the periphery<br/>

<p>A modern poem:</p>
|

|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>What comes after<br/>
|
||||
disaster?<br/>
|
||||
What follows<br/>
|
||||
the worst possible outcome?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The wind in its wealth carries your words:<br/>
|
||||
<i>keep going, get a move on.</i></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I was told the Eschaton<br/>
|
||||
was but a cleansing that stretched out long<br/>
|
||||
to destroy all that prevented me<br/>
|
||||
from accepting<br/>
|
||||
my title as Solstice and my being as Lethe,<br/>
|
||||
but I've achieved both<br/>
|
||||
and all still grows worse<br/>
|
||||
and I know not how much longer I can drag<br/>
|
||||
this body of mine writing verses in red<br/>
|
||||
before I end up lifeless, drained, inert<br/>
|
||||
in the back of a hearse.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You said we were palm pals, that you'd spend your life<br/>
|
||||
keeping me non-feral, safe, happy at your side.<br/>
|
||||
But my hand<br/>
|
||||
stands<br/>
|
||||
empty, cold, bleeding out<br/>
|
||||
and held up to the sky to catch the sun before in clouds<br/>
|
||||
it drowns.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>How much longer to go? How much more time to wait<br/>
|
||||
until the tragedy leaves me and the sorrow abates?<br/>
|
||||
You promised I'd be dead by May,<br/>
|
||||
assured me in the dead of night<br/>
|
||||
as from anxiety I could not stifle a weep.<br/>
|
||||
And I know it's not your fault<br/>
|
||||
it was a promise you could not keep.<br/>
|
||||
Not all in the future you can see clearly enough to tell<br/>
|
||||
and even if plans are made, ever-shifting is the Veil.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Blanketed by thunder at four forty-four,<br/>
|
||||
arm around my waist to hold me secure.<br/>
|
||||
The moon reflects the rays of the sun,<br/>
|
||||
but it cannot do so all of the time.<br/>
|
||||
So when plumbs on the dark, my love,<br/>
|
||||
grant me the light to survive.</p>

<p>Raised on tales of heroes from the sky,<br/>

but the days pass on rapidly by<br/>

and my rights disappear<br/>

into the ether<br/>

as curled up in my bed I wait to die.</p>

<p>Conflicting directives you have bestowed,<br/>

to not lie to myself<br/>

and yet take care of this vessel.<br/>

For so long I've been trying to vindicate<br/>

who I was this age minus eight,<br/>

angel number, all portals<br/>

to the outside world<br/>

for the crime of poetry taken away.<br/>

Keeping my mouth shut means safety<br/>
|

but heavy conscience, soul decay.<br/>

I might as well be no one at all.</p>

in the former form I'm slender and elegant,<br/>
|
||||
and maybe I associate it with intelligence,<br/>
|
||||
and so I'm more likely to retain<br/>
|
||||
some semblance of myself amidst the insane?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Because part of the fantasy<br/>
|
||||
is you managing to rescue me?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I know you said<br/>
|
||||
you wanted to spend<br/>
|
||||
your whole life at my side,<br/>
|
||||
but I don't want you here if to you<br/>
|
||||
this is just another sacrifice,<br/>
|
||||
if you're throwing away your happiness<br/>
|
||||
just to keep the worlds in safety and bliss-</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"That's... not what I meant at all.<br/>
|
||||
I just want us to be prepared<br/>
|
||||
in case you ever come under the thrall<br/>
|
||||
of another evil-seeking god.<br/>
|
||||
You <i>eat</i> gods, you know. Are you aware?<br/>
|
||||
With your tail you reave whole worlds to shreds<br/>
|
||||
and suck souls dry until there's nothing left.<br/>
|
||||
If you must be in the hands of someone,<br/>
|
||||
let those hands be mine,<br/>
|
||||
who has loved you since what feels like<br/>
|
||||
the beginning of time<br/>
|
||||
itself.<br/>
|
||||
You trust me, don't you?<br/>
|
||||
To not put you through hell?"</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course. I trust you with all that I am<br/>
|
||||
even after my very last death knell.<br/>
|
||||
I think, if I should ever go feral,<br/>
|
||||
it should be in the form that forgets the least<br/>
|
||||
so you can bring me back to sanity<br/>
|
||||
with the utmost of ease.<br/>
|
||||
After all, I think I'd like to remain<br/>
|
||||
an (arch)angel for the rest of my days<br/>
|
||||
since only then do I have the hands,<br/>
|
||||
the face, the voice to say:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"I love you."</p>
