Ep. 8: Poetry Party - "We will be reunited"

Introduction

To be fair, I was going to write something about the Mobius strip today, but I think that I've finally found an idea of what I like writing about in this blog - poetry - which is why I've included two poetry parties in a row. This time, the poem is fresh off the presses (I wrote it today), so I can talk a bit more on what it's about, which is video games. Let me explain.

I am not a gamer in any sense, unless you count NYT Games and the ultra-relaxing Alto's Odyssey (which you really should try!). However, I always love a good story, and a certain Gacha game about two siblings separated from each other in an unknown world captivated me with its intricate lore, which, of course, makes great poetry. All the 'chapters' in the game (which correspond to different regions based on different places in the world) were dramatic, captivating, and had actual philosophical undertones to it that made it poetic. So I made a lot of poems about it, and this is my most recent one, which serves a dual purpose of being similar to the tale of the separated siblings and also a poem of genuine loneliness and isolation. So, enjoy?

In the still pool clear as a 

diamond, your eyes look into mine

like a sea demon, detached from

the walking world

                                     where I wander,

drowning myself in the tide of

your words. "We will be reunited,"

You whispered the last time

                                                         we met

when we were once white stars

drifting past busy worlds, careless

Like two doves without

                                               clipped wings,

fallen prey to the cawing raven

of separation. Perhaps it is

because you are

                                   a laughing day

and I am the moony, lonely night.

We can only be together when

earth's cycles are struck down-
