Poem By Elcypher: NO LONGER

NO LONGER

Do I walk in my father’s shoes;

They’re old and worn out

For my soul’s cobbler to mend.

I was born not of a lost ancestor

But of a weeping god for

A multi verse to live.

Here lies in my palms,

The maps of a world unthreaded,

Destination undiscovered,

Secrets undivulged.

Aye!

Flowing in my eyes is a stream

Of origin unknown only to be

Traced by a ready swimmer.

Alas!

I am not a man made of written chronicle

For I evolve unlikely wise like

A crab staring back at a world behind

To guide his shell.

Thus,

The time that journeys wise is my enemy.

For, I am not a mind seated in my chest

Nor a heart caged in ribs.

Lo!

When I seek me in the mirror,

I see a giant with clenched fists

Bludgeoning the air waves that

Blow every fate.

Behold!

I am a verse of lost poetry:

Lyrics of unsung melodies.

I have found me lost as of broken;

Fading echoes to the listening walls.

For a soul brother:
