That Which Burns

The tale of a tree

Don't tell me seeker of your woes, forgiven trespasses retold, least i be shamed upon falsehoods

Leave me to plan a world of bitter-sweet delights

Let me go into the night brave, my swift morning victory awaits -squeezing this essence of light until it explodes

Best not leave you brittle in this cold to rejoice in my shiver

Regret is what i seek to evade, o' the insurmountable cost of burden, like trees to carbon in a forest of thoughts left asunder, ready the horses say your wood choppers for the plunder

Think of days.... of moons passed eons ago, their sun-kissed dread left many a stain on my bark, eager i be to forget

Let me live another day chasing golden jewels

Hold me to my word in this tale of two by one, bequeathing unjustly a division of none

Least i fall beneath the glorious sun, a story told to all and sum

Bid me my farewells, a ticket bought to the penny, forgive you do I, for all said but not done

The cruel joy is to have learned this rule of thumb

Ask not me to do your final sum

For now i know i am to be the last one

Author's Note

I dreamt of climbing a tree the other day and from this it's grown out of control :)

I really loved it! It's so amazingly written from the perspective of a tree that it..! :) The last line really holds a lot of gravity voicing the current problem of deforestation. Loved the concept and your imagination! Good Job! :)

By the way, I know this is off topic, but even so, I might as well ask.... Have you watched Code Geass ...Or is the picture a random one...?

Hi Moonight...thank you very much thats a very nice review and i appreciate it. Yes Code Geass is my favourite anime series...its brilliant !...all my poems will have pics from this series as the images suit the words well i think lol

[Moonlight]

Its one of my favourite animr series too!! And my fav character is Lelouche ...! Good to hear that someone else shares my interests! :)

I like to blend culture, politics, religion and everything into my poems...its like every thought co-mingles in my mind, slips between conscious and sub-conscious mind, then erupts like torpedos onto the page by accident lololol if only all poems could feel like that i'd be happy! The cool thing about anime is that its unlimited, and with CGeass its got alot of layers within the writing, its awesome work.

[Moonlight]

Yeah I totally agree! :)
