Far Beyond Apart

-Far Beyond Apart-
by
Keaton Foster



To love a rose
In a wilderness of wolves
Impossible receptors
Creatures turned precursors
And then, just as quick
Back again
Beyond all reason
In the way that they stand
In the way that they exist
Snapping, snarling
Madness, astounding
Driving us apart
The darkness of their coats
Blots out the sun
Blots out the light
That is me, you, and us
Far beyond apart we seem
Increasingly I scream
Where are you
Where have you gone
How come I cannot see you
How come I no longer know you
This love that I have
Is a pseudo-sematic disease
That still remains
While you do not
I wish I could close the gap
I wish I could destroy such creatures
Abominations of creation
The challenge to all cause
Why we are here is known
The answer is quite clear
To love and be loved
Thus
To love a rose
A metaphorical person
Now planted in the ground
No longer a sound
No directions forthcoming
Towards the sun
Into the forever sky
While I remain
Looking all around
Far beyond apart we are
We have always been
Further still
The wolves won’t let me close
They know something that I refuse
Unwilling to accept, I am doomed
Forever alone I am to remain
Until my own time
Until my own darkness comes through
Until then and after, no sun will shine true
Only a life without you will reside
Having nothing of a choice
At times is more than I can bear
Far beyond apart we stand…
