Eternal (As written by Myself, circa 2001)
Souls run, raging through the trees.
The reef of reality parts.
The end of space,
The begining of time,
Revelation of what lies within.
There's a snake at your heel,
and his charmer went deaf
Just as you need him the most.
When eternity picks her companions,
Even fate cannot tear them apart.
The reef of reality parts.
The end of space,
The begining of time,
Revelation of what lies within.
There's a snake at your heel,
and his charmer went deaf
Just as you need him the most.
When eternity picks her companions,
Even fate cannot tear them apart.

This poem is excellent. I mean simply divine. The flow and the syntax is flawless, the content vague yet oddly moving, quietly philosophical, with some outstanding imagery. The snake at the heels and its charmer were my favourites. This is one of those rare poems to be published on this site lately which I can call "unique".
Regarding recommendations, "Can not" should be one word in the final line, and I'm a bit confused by the phrase "reef of reality".

What a disastrous, lively, twisted image that appears in my head. I feel there can be a lot read into this poem and many meanings taken from it.
