The Traveler

Is this real? Or are we infinity?

Sing with me a melody

Of time and space

My heart scattered among stars 

A universal embrace

Are we all alone?

Do we feel at home?

I dream under different skies

Your body next to mine

When you leave I will follow

The hunt over galaxies trace

You'll be Artemis

I'll be your Orion

The Scorpio will seal our fates

Out in this darken space

No more to see

Endless distance

Between you and me

I will go on forever

Planet to planet

The fire of Prometheus spreads

Giving our bond life

Tearing me apart at every step

I begin to feel numb

Don't you see that?

This chase

This hunt

It eludes me at every turn

Taking me further from you

If home is where the heart is

My heart was lost long ago

Pierced by your arrow

Trapped between a rib cage

I give up the chase

My time has come

Floating on lost love

I close my eyes 

Every time we touched 

Every moment we shared

I linger on your words

"Life was never built to be fair"

I open my eyes to stars and purple skies

Laying in fields of liquid flowers

Three suns pass over

Night never comes

I feel your embrace

The traveler I am has to end

Scatter me among the stars 

Let my lights shine down

On other wanderers 

Telling them my story

Of love forever found

Showing them my tale

Of love forever bound

Forgive me

This isn't my best but it was something of a mix of feelings that needed to get out. Thank you for reading.

That was beautiful and so well written. I know you mentioned that this was not your best, but I still feel captivated by this poem. The mention of Artemis really made me feel more drawn to this poem. I once again added another one of your poems to my fave list as I know I will go back and re-read this at a later date. This really in a way made me think of my story and inspired me because it contains themes that will come up in my story in the future. I adored the ending by the way, so simple and yet so powerful and beautiful. Just two words "forgive me" it left me speechless. Forgive me if my reviews seem over the top and with too much praise, but your poems are so beautiful that I can't help but leave such reviews.

i like how you mix archaic imagery with simple Tao like honesty, it is a very effective combination.

i enjoyed this and read it over twice before i decided to read it from a selfish stance
i found it sorta punchy “Matter of Fact”
“here is my take“

i found by reading it through selfish eyes it read more intriguing


I begin to feel numb
Don't you see that?

bam!

great job

Sometimes its frustrating when what you thought you had keeps eluding you. It may cause us to push for them more because we want to relive what we had before. I think you wrote an interesting tale that left a long trail. Yet, I don't believe its time for you to be scattered to the stars because a new light will dawn on you again soon. Even though you mentioned this isn't your best writing I believe its the opposite. I think people are at their best when they want to write to get things off their chest. Keep going.

Thank you so much. As an outlet, this helps me to put things in perspective and to open my eyes. I will continue to do so as life goes on. As we know, it is all a big ride until its time to get off.
