September Skies

By Jackie Almasy

----

Dew drop immersions

The flicker of the lingering dream

Echoing within conscious desertions

The golden gleam

Forgotten? Gone?

Waves of hell fire red

Lap on memories edge

Sensations lusciously fed

Teething the mind's emerge

What is this shimmering?

Flickering twilight

Striking ethereal collision

Fair and bright

Clearing once cloudy vision

What is missing? What is aching?

A voice rough and tender

Reverberating, hauntingly, and sad

Notes, drowning into sweet asunder

A sudden aching of what should have been had

'...yumemi…'

Fragments of time, scarring

Emptiness returns

The forgotten stirring

The voice rings, burns

----

The inspiration behind this sad little piece was the song "I Miss You" by Incubus. I rewatched the tv series and yet again tortured myself with Munto and Yumemi being ripped apart.

I would adore seeing an anime music video to Munto with that song but perhaps with time, I will teach myself how to make them.

Till next time,
