He looks young but he has an old soul
From one place to another he always plays the same role
How he feels no one can comprehend
His journey seems to have no end
He used to write beautiful stories
But now he just travels across the countries
Without purpose
Maybe he's just searching
For something he lost a long time ago
Something unseen
Though he has been
There
But he just doesn't feel that he belongs
Here
He never wants to go back home
He is surrounded by many but he is alone
Inside he is weeping but he speaks with a cheerful tone
His spirit is rising but his flesh is falling
He has a smell of smoke on his hair
And his features are quite fair
And a life without drinking he can't bear
He has learnt all things
But he has to re-learn them
He has climbed the highest mountain
And has swum the coldest water
But he still can't find
The right place to dwell
He doesn't really care
Whether it's Heaven or Hell
In a way, he's aware
That he can't get himself out of
His inevitable despair
His vulnerable heart has been shattered
And can never be whole again
And he tries to hide his pain
But he does all this in vain
He just wants to be far away
From wherever he is
He just wants to forget
All the memories which are himself

Deep!

I can really visualise this - like a past life memory or something - really clear, like it's me!

quote:

---

He has learned all things
But he has to re-learn them..

Now that has a past life ring to it.

I do love poetry - but what I've seen on LL seems to stir me more emotionally, especially recently.

Actually - I think it's because I'm nearing the next turn of the wheel, when I want to experience everything on a deeper level now

Eternal Blue - may I ask, what inspired you to write these musical histories?

A heartfelt thanks to you, Sheaa Olein- for the kind words and the beautiful interpretation. I adore poetry, though there is still so much more that I haven't read yet (and I want to read as much of it as possible).

I just write. Sometimes I might write less frequently, it depends. I'm happy that I am able to express my thoughts and my feelings here at LL. At some point I will need a breakthrough, that's what I expect. I don't want to become repetitive. I want to keep my inspiration alive. I have no idea where it comes from, to be honest with you...

As a matter of fact, this poem is about a real life character.
