A reminisce to animosity.

A reminisce to animosity. Written 04-12-03 By M. Aaron Hein.

A reminisce to animosity was a poem originally written by by me to reflect Dash’s thoughts towards the end of Chapter Six of Anachronistic Skies. Branded as a traitor by the visage of both Rose and Leon after being stricken with venom, Dash feels greatly bereaved, but denies their passage...drawing his final ounce of strength to life his sword against them.

Serpent, you struck at me
angered, despising
weighting, inundating me
with venom paralyzing,

as I stood there amongst that
nothingness
my eyes trained, restrained,
it was than at such a point,
that memories,
like bloody wounds,
to a memory stained.
formulating,

I opened my eyes,
There they stood, two familiar
figures, a woman and son
whom I perceived to have died
so quickly
at the muzzle of a gun

how many years ago?
can I remember now?

it was

a medium of trepidation
that had so seemingly wiped away
with a plume of smoke

their lives, their welfare

into those paltry skies
during that fateful day

a spatter of life,
scarring my conscience, now greyed.

shattered,

my love for her, for my son,
rememberances, memories of
our forays
of those moments now torn,
like a picture lost, long gone

but now, there they stood amongst
such a paltry road, a crossway,

perhaps between
oblivion and perdition,
which they had claimed myself to stray

their faces, youthful,
eyes, fiery,
attracting, beckoning me

offering passage to a second
line of existence,
liberated, free

but I resisted,

I denied,
hinting at such essence
or promises deceived
of my suspicions exemplified

they were nothing, I surmised,
but shadows of such memories

ever insistent to revive

to aggrivate ancient wounds

resents
grievances
and hatreds,

ones so easily epitomized

as humanity’s dossier

of notions branded,
innate
present
derived

from instinctual code
compiled and exemplified

but how? By natutral selection?
perchance not, or through effection.

a message, a promopt

to lead me in such a direction

to turn my eyes
to meet hers,
my suspicions only realized

those eyes were false, fabricated,
summoned, envisioned
but for what purpose
never clear or stated

but implying
only to reinforce
my will to survive,

to divorce myself from such corrupting snide

my real love would have expressed wishes
for myself to pursue to live

I was continually torn, but only now did
it make sense with

like a book revealed, a rosetta stone
of enlightening incense

life is too short,
too quick
to forsake so quickly

amen

one must seize the moment
to ride the wing
not to look upon sickly

If I had realized sooner,

perhaps, with stride,

I’d be at peace
those memories cast aside.
