Blossom leaves flies from
Oh friend where are you going?
Disappear from me

Life lived and suffered
Peaceful memories drift down
Only to Perish
Inkyu Kim Dec 2012
A melody sings songs of a better time,
smooth strokes of keys on a piano,
soft like wind of a golden flute,
accompanied by a cheery violin,
as a couple dance.

Hand in hand,
like winds in perfect harmony.

The young girl laughs,
her bright eyes sparkling with happiness,
as the young boy stares through her.

"Forever and ever?"

In an instance the violin quiets and all turns dark,
but the lonely piano continues.

Beautiful,
Yet sad.

So sad the music,
it turned the heart of stone into tears.

Beautiful, but sad.

Like the smile of a woman,
who knows she will never again be,
with the man she loves.

But she remains happy,
in the reminiscence of the time they spent together, in which,
was the best of her life.

as the perfect dance ends,
the piano dies,
and a small innocent voice asks,
"Forever and ever?"

The boy smiles sadly as he looks down,
"Forever, yet never..."

Come with me, for there is a place long forgotten, buried in the sands of time.
A rotting concrete barricade was the tombstone of this ghostly outpost.
The hot white wind whipped up grains of sand, slowly eroding away this dying spot.
Oh how mother of time have done her work.

Come with me to where the sun masterfully paints the fading skies with fiery orange, watch it‘s art on this dead place.
Oh how the sands used to be red, piercing wounded faces who cried so often.
A rusty steel rifle laid on the ground, resting forever.
A red sign, in a familiar language stop, and unto it was carved I want to go home.
Nobody wanted to remember this place, as this hellish ground refused to recognize itself.
Oh how this place has died, oh how the rust of time have taken it’s toll.

Come with me to the forgotten roadsides where the fragrance of once was remains.
The fragrance were whispers of the dead.
Sweet yet salty, the fragrance of the air lingers and dances with the smell of rust with the skies slowly turning night.
The small wooden building slumped and have given up.
The windows broken, the wood ashen, a lonely rocking chair on the porch swayed back and forth, back and forth.
Oh how people refuse to remember.

Come with me to where tears and blood were shed and brothers were lost.

Amongst the rubble, the rust, the building, the sign, and the concrete barricade a massive and horrifying line of worn spit shine boots and amongst each one a worn rifle, a fading helmet, and bent metal necklaces that told stories of the fallen.

Come with me,
Come with me and remember the lost brothers.

A leader?
A warrior?
A servant?
This ****** Life!

A life cursed from the beginning.
A heart made to serve,
A dream of leadership,
but a voice nobody listens.

Oh! The horrible wreckage!

An abomination from Hell,
touched by the Angels from Heaven.

A War!

This ****** Life!

A spirit that rushes to the aid of others,
but at it's own time of need,
is left alone to suffer and rot.

A misunderstood figure,
a tragedy worthy of de Bergerac.

Oh how the lake weeps,
Oh how the birds sing so sadly,
All crying for this Cursed Man.

Where did this Man go wrong?
An abomination!
A Curse!
A Mistake...

Mocked,
Stabbed,
Spat.

The World Died,
When it just begun,

Service?
Patriotism?
or is it all Retribution?

A Heart that Bled,
A Heart that went cold,
A soul lost,
A life wasted.

This ****** Life!

A Wanderer?
Nay!
A Traitor?
Nay!

A Cursed Life,
Born of Hell,
saved by Heaven.

A misunderstood leader,
A broken warrior,
A bleeding servant,
A cold heart,

****** Life!
A Cursed Life!

Your enemies might be your ally in disguise.
Every life is precious because every life has it's own story.
Sometimes perfect is never meant to be.
Your goal may not be the goal you set.
Doing the right thing hurts.
Sometimes you may end up in a situation in which your only inspirations are not from self gain, but your love for another.
True dedication is not partial, but whole.
Even if you lose everything, the only thing you can do is push forward and keep your memories in your heart.
If you place memories in your heart, it will live on forever.
Placing memories in your heart can work both ways.
Losses are never losses in whole. Out of all the defeats there is a glimmer of hope and victory.
Sometimes victories can be a defeat.
Even if you lose someone, remember that they still walk with you on the same road.
Nothing is ever meant to last forever.
The ending is a new beginning.

A soft fragrance of a leaf.
A fading memory,
reaching out I grasp nothing.

Absence left a shadow,
I am left broken.
Crushed like autumn leaves.
The soft paddle of the rain became a hurricane.

Hopelessly I walk towards the soft fragrance.
In the deep forest.

I hear your voice, but you are gone.
Kneeling down, I cry.

A soft wind-
Stabbing knives.

I try to find the words,
but it's too late-
you are gone,
and I am alone.

The scene I can never touch again.
Dreams of fading memories,
Dreams of the deep forest.

I crumble,
helplessly.

I see a shadow,
a small light,
but nobody was there.

And I break,
And I fall,
And I pain,

yet the familiar fragrance is only of a fading memory,

A fading forest.

An empty heart,
An empty shadow,
but nobody was there.
