A poem composition on the theme: "How to save a life"

I'm willing to give out free ice pops from the canteen if you can find the symbolisms...hehe =D



Litt

A Road I Can’t follow

By: Geronimo Martinez

Heavenly destined so it then seemed

When I and he joined beyond break

Though not of blood, we were true brothers

We were one body, one mind and heart

Oh, do you remember, dear fond stories

Of then crimson skies in our playful sleep

Memories of paradise, all put past

Together still in a child’s happy dream

Age brought reason, though oft mistaken

Headlong did they rush towards ruin

To what they thought was their fulfillment

Our hands parted as you flowed the current

Where, oh where had you gone, so sudden

As I grasped the air, searching for what’s lost

I was still among the field of flowers

As though blind to the blossoms around

Yet I still held on to our dream

You tried as well to let it be so

But even I grew to see reason

As your mother calls out to the night

I saw you less and less intimately

The day shone on the face of an angel

Yet the moon would show the hunter’s eyes

I oft miss you as you set with the sun

What I thought strong became fine as thread

Yet you keep the dream of our paradise

A paradise lost to the wonders of night

I knew for some time, you chose wrong

I’ve laid down the list of what is wrong

Try as you might, I can’t go along

Paradise will be left a memory

Because you tread a road I can’t follow
