Yesterday's Lies are Today's Truths

Duran, reminisces on its past. Remembering its rise and fall.

Remember Duran, remember

Sprinkles of memories drop like mist

The fresh relief of rain settled,

On a wasted treasured mind

It lived in a house

Who's lights collected souls

Cherished, the light grew

Loved, the spirits flourished

They danced among the lanterns at night

Dust spectre, playing on sound and sight  

Declaring, Duran! Their master of might 

Ambiguous to ambition it reigned untouched

The lost found homes of their desire

Conquering the fear of deaths grasp

At last, a king of mercy and fire

Cheers of Duran, Duran, The Savior

11:11

Click, Clack, Bang

Seven, Seven, Seven

The tone struck echoes 

Melody over meter the sky danced 

As equals, the many became the few

The stars shift to the beat of war

Stoked flames throw embers astray

The souls of the happy turn grey

Crying for their lord in the fray

Duran has left us this day

At the peak of the world it stands

Desperate for guidance 

It questions these seven planes

The origin of its sole destiny

They approach the grave

Taken but forever held

It lived in a house

Who's lights collected souls

Now hollowed,

The lights have gone out

Transported through a spectrum hole

The vessel takes it far from home

Breathing heavy on a tinder night

The stars all play and sing

It brings itself to stare

How drastic things change

The end comes swift,

Yet the road is long and narrow

Duran has become anew 

No more souls to glisten its life

Just a new universe to trace

Somewhere lost in outer space

Amazing work! You get me to visualize the people that I cherish in my life and how much their light means to me. Its always painful when light is lost and memories are all that remain. Yet, I believe the light of those we love isn't ever gone for good. We may not be able to see them or touch them, but in our spirit we cultivate the light they've left us with. :) Keep on writing.

I love this so far! I don't know if it's because I know you love Greek mythology, but this chapter especially reminded me of when spirits enter the house of Hades. Not sure if that was the message you were trying to portray here. Either way, I loved it, it was so well written and I really enjoyed reading it!

It's amazing how you picked up on that! It is definitely an influence in this chapter. My goal with this project is to weave a story through the lines of different poems. Thank you so much! You are always so kind!
