EndlessA Poem by Ethan TalbyA tale of 7 people so as to give insight into philosophy, religion, and psychologyThe blind hermit wanders through time Waiting for a chime So he can point out That we're all in a roundabout With many a lane In the pouring rain But we're all stuck in the spin Curious about the fin All the while he reads his log In the dark and real fog With blind eyes that can only see What is, was, and will be He then begins to take a rest Before he meets with the Endless
The goth girl stares with a smile While holding her key of the Nile With her eye of the Moon That brings all but gloom As it welcomes the newborn And later removes the soul from what it has worn She is content with what's gone For what it will spawn On the deadly hour Like a blooming flower given life's water By a martyr Her presence becomes illuminous As she reaches the Endless
The daydreamer sits at the top of his castle Not wanting a single hassle As he looks down at the travesty That is his shifting tapestry Which is filled of former thought That can never be bought Cain and Abel fight despite solidarity Eve matures as the mother of humanity Lucian is put in charge While the gargoyles are staying large And Matthew keeps an eye Oh those that go by And then the king feels the weight Of the duty at his gate And as Morpheus begins to falter Daniel is given his sacred alter Which puts him in an awkward position That requires a difficult decision And even though he is very different He is just as reverent Daniel wears a shade of white Doing more that is right His eyes glimmer upon the land Which knows him as a sandman Even though what they see isn't real It still causes them to feel Daniel starts to be restless As he must awake for the Endless
The prodigal follows the train track Never to turn back And leave those he called family Because of the bombs falling steadily He can't take the weight of those falling No matter how much they are calling He shuts his ears and becomes brazen Even though he is cleanly shaven So that he can be creative Making his job quite debative Because he creates true art Without being very smart Brother is still aimless Yet he continues to evade the Endless
The cruel temptress breaks the heart Before it even starts By preparing her words of war Which have never lost before She toys with others for fun Never to be done Or even gratified Because she'll never be satisfied With the pain she brought That was never sought Yet she always prevails In whatever she entails she brings forth mostly mess And that's why she is at the Endless
The smart and shy one speaks few words that aren't new For she is in dread That she will instead Bring only more harm Yet there is no need for alarm Because her voice is a rope To grapple hope That others lack For their slack Is a reminder To mind her She digs into her epidermal dress To quicker get to the Endless
The wild child changes from day to day Because she never wants so stay In one place too long She's doing nothing wrong When her eyes are still Against her will To be crazy For she is not lazy She was once the sun But that's good and done Because of the drama That everyone defines as trauma She pushes the bounds of consciousness To better understand the Endless © 2010 Ethan TalbyReviews
