There was no sun, he'd say;
No star-sprinkled night skies
To guide the lost wanderer;
No happily flying fireflies
To land on slender hands;
Not even a silvery moon
To soothe the lover's cries
For bygone times—
It is no place for you to be,
He'd say.
Sorrow filled her fiery eyes;
How come he has to live in
Places so cold and dark?
She wondered and pondered,
But had yet to receive a reply.
Thus, she wished to lend him
Some of her soul's glowing light;
To clad him in warmth
And ease her loving heart.
Translucent petals started
Falling off her moonlit gown;
Tumbling in the icy air
And glowing in the pool of dark.
They brushed against his skin
And landed upon his palms;
Wonder overcame his eyes,
To very soon turn into fright.
Her moonlit lids remained closed,
And a smile lit up her pinkish lips
As her light continued to devour
The one she longed to save.
Aureate beams of light streamed
Through translucent hands of hers;
Flooding the rigid ground,
And glistening on his skin
As pieces of him started to fade
Beneath her soul's eternal glow.
She opened her eyes only to see
That he has now turned to dust;
And none other than her light
Has forced his soul to fade away.
Tears of grief she sheds up until today;
And no tomorrow shall arrive
Without sorrow to come her way.
For indeed, it was not for her
To linger in worlds of his;
And all her life she shall
Live in remorse for
Lightening up the one
Who was not meant
To touch the light.
Weeping Light is moonhuayoon's 7th poem, and it is poetic imagery at its best.
I have got to say that, upon reading these poems, I was entirely immersed in the beautiful literary illustrations. I, thus, had to share.
"Flooding the rigid ground,
And glistening on his skin"
The combination between earth and human features is so intricate and complex yet at the same time, positively flawlessly flowing, is memorable.
I look forward to reading more...
