The Void Century

I have forgotten about you lately,
forgotten how you smell on that afternoon,
and forgotten all about those jocund pineapples.

December 31st,
I pretended to be a captain of a Man-o-War --
a perennial grass amongst
prairies and masterpieces of nature.

February 17th,
Your echoing footsteps --
barefooted and
strawberry-fragrant --
camped on those lonely alleyways...
Days were starting to get anxious.

I saw you yesterday
still wearing that eerie smile
and mellifluous laughter.
Almost ethereal,
but your presence still managed
to play my heartstrings
and conform the sadness
I was feeling
while watching you
walking away from me.

July 12th,
everything was becoming
The Void Century,
nostalgia was trying to
engulf the day --
9:00 AM and
it was just so sad.
It would be
so much better with you.

One day,
I will decipher the Poneglyphs.
