-Lightless Refrain-

I cried in the place where time drew its last breath. I once remembered its warm embrace, but the memories left me to drift in a sea of shattered dreams. The refrain of days past faded into the nothingness while I longed for the pure light of the firefly.

But as sight is lost in the sun's fiery stare, I was greeted only by a malicious shadow. Like a demonic sprite, it danced around me, and as my eyes turned green emerald tears ran free. I sensed in the shifting darkness an eternal hopelessness, and I opened myself to it.

When time lost all meaning, all time became lost. Burning recollections left me cold, as hope wept a solemn nocturne.

I was alone.

The timeless serenade of immortality died as a final listless smile crossed my tear-strewn face. The memory of life escaped my pleading hands, like Yours so long ago.

Through the icy blue window of sleep, I saw the black rain melt the world.

I know it looks like prose, but I was in my inexplicably "poem" mindset as I wrote it, you've heard this all before, :blah:blah:

Whelp, I'm afraid this is part 3 of the Firefly "series," if you will. Before you read this, read [this] and [this], in that (chronological) order. They are all very connected- assuming you see this how I do. Which you just might not- and I think that's great! You'll get no "meaning" help from me. Take what you will out of it (meaningwise, I don't mean steal my work!)

Altho it would be really cool to see if anybody could take a guess at what exactly is happening in each of the poems and tie them together somehow...:nod:

I know my little piccy is dark and hard to see. That's the point. ;)

Whatever. Enjoy, if you can =D

Interesting. It is defently a nice conclusion to the first few pieces. and it ends on a dark note too. you don;t see that very often, ususlay theres some sense of hope.

as for the format, don;t sweat it. in roman times there were quite a few authors who did the same thing poetry, with poetic conventions, wiritten in prose format. we had to translate that last year - fun stuff
