《Ephemera | poetry》| When You left me at Dawn |
Advertisement
This warm sunlight burns my skin ; leaving ashes on my hands ; the very same hands where you kissed me Goodbye.
~S
Is this a nightmare,
Or a curse from the stars,
When you became my lifeline;
Just to cripple my heart,
I can't hold these marigolds,
These farewell flowers,
That dusk left me lifeless;
Our fantasy tore me apart,
This gold-dripped rooftop,
On whose edges I , now, stand,
The wind howling in my ears;
The sun stinging my glance,
This dawn in my life,
Drowns me in blue rims,
Pulling me deep into the waves;
With no surface to swim,
Those law-laced norms,
That we promised to escape,
You left me chained in them;
At this violent day-break,
Those red-inked parchments,
Our leather-bound notes,
You burnt them to nothing;
Leaving me hiding from hope,
It was into the wilderness,
Of those grain-kissed lands,
We were to rebel together;
But you buried me in sand,
You blinded me to happiness,
Lost in mountains so afar ; for,
Since the day you left me at dawn;
All my galaxies have been dark.

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
