《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》45.) peonies in summer
Advertisement
Golden rays of sunshine beam down from the skies above,
they blind you and make the entire world glow almost as bright as the white
of a dove.
Along with the light comes great heat,
melting some and burning others, setting the stage ablaze.
Something about basking in its light is sweet,
it reflects off of mirrors and gives glass a sleek glaze.
The evergreen is ever green in all of this light though,
and the days outlive the nights that the sky does show.
Fruit-flies come to hover over apples even when we tell them to go.
And everyone's free, yes, so free, out in the summer sun that likes to glow.
The skies are bluer than blue,
and the lies told by the sunflowers are truer than true.
Of how they face the face of this season all day and all night
they face the moon,
in August, July and June.
Bring me pink peonies in summer,
and daffodils in spring.
Bring me pansies in winter
and dahlias in autumn, yes bring.
Go out to the beach,
and walk through its sea.
When they yell 'leech!'
ignore their plea
for you to come back,
no never come back.
Follow your heart
even if it tells you to cross the whole sea.
Do it, and do it merrily, willingly.
And if the heat melts you into its waters, so you die,
become the sea, the ocean, the waters that try to fly
with each wave.
Even after death, they shall call you brave.
Or foolish, but still.
The summer sea called your name in a voice so shrill.
You couldn't ignore its call.
So you became a part of it.
No.
You became it all.
And in places of gold sands they dream of an oasis like you,
in meadows of such green grass they wish for something blue.
Like the seaside
that always sits beside
the beach in summer,
summer's special sea.

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
