Unnamed In The Middle

Unnamed In The Middle

A Poem by TJB
"

First attempt at something like this. Sounds more like a bad story but whatever lol

"
Darkness was the only thing there before the basements threshold
Blue lights flickering and dimming as if a sign to turn away
Immobilized at the thought of turning around, strange
Three pillars stand within this eerily illuminated room
Stepping within them those lights now shine as if a new found power beseech them
Bright cylinders appear within  the back of the room once again silent
Only one contains anything which has now opened
Out comes a metal being hidden within the smoke-like substance that emanated from it's container
So cold it appeared to be but eyes lit as if trapped in a lucid dream for an eternity
Something flowed from it's metallic cheeks as it looked towards the hidden heavens
Freedom it sang once twice even a third time as if a spell that wasn't working
Staring in awe the creature turned and before blinking was outside
Looking now at the face illuminated you could see flesh atop, what was it really
Frowning after smiling peering into the blue sky for so long realizing differences
Afraid of what has become of the purity retained from long ago
People start to notice this half fleshy half metallic anomaly on the road
Soon after sirens ensue and recognizing prepares for a battle
Four cars down the realization of worldly differences not understood flees
Military sirens soon blare and feels it's time to be released from this horrible dream
As the damage is received falling upon newspaper laughing hysterically
This is not a rancid future feared this is the bad past destroyed for years
Closing eyes laughing now knowing the truth reaching to the sky again saying freedom
Realizing the words of this dying entity using his body the world reaches his remembrance
Then the story repeats memory in tact for us not for the lonely creature forever realizing too late
No one ever knowing his name his origins only the cause he exists for
