STORY TELLING POETRY..... THE GEMINI MAN SYNOPSIS
#WritcoPoemPrompt112
With everything that life has to offer,
There's so much to be enjoyed,
But the pleasures of sleeplessness he suffer,
Is the one he cannot avoid.
Time is a marathon yet with strong legs he still crawls
In the midst of interaction with society he puts the best smile yet his presence is still trapped in the arms of real love he lost in the past.
Alone in the night he dreams of conquering his fear with a thunderous roar.
Dismentaling his happiness reshuffeling his feelings like a puzzle completed but never content with the task.

They admire the mystery in his silence and crowd him with their attention because he lends a listening ear
His advice is the reminats of treasure that comes from the core of earth like a volcanic eruption.
Yet he ramages the drawers of the past searching for clues to why his birth was hated by those that pledged love as it seem to appear.
A burden they fought to possess but neither side willing to keep for love but rather abusive intention.

Watching his mother dying in a strange place neglected by her family because of him.
Stuck with the smell of dying flesh in his nostrils eversince as she gradually die at his side but no one to call..
Farewells spoken in metaphors as the tears fall away on her cheeks as the light dim.
Mumbled prayers for her son's life escaping cracked lips and sobbing with so much emotions because she knew the struggles at so young an age he would endear...

She said your only inheritance that will not be taken from you is your identity don't forget nomatter what *Who you are*
He saw pain in those beautiful eyes and big smiling face that scared his soul.
She was still there breathing by her spirit was long gone.
That was the beginning of his downfall.

He suffered when she was gone alone working in gardens or herding cows
Beaten without any modicum of pity if one had to go astray.
But he found peace alone in the forest with grazing cattle that would grant him a breast to fill his belly.
Cry torrential downpours soaking his soul just to find strength again..

He befriended animals because they felt his dispair.
Refused to kill a chicken and starved because he felt every animal deserved to live.
He fell in love with reading because he would imagine himself in those places what a beautiful escape.
Humbly take a beating if he is not guilty just to feel a different kind of pain to silence the other.

He vowed that he will not lose or standby if another is bullied.
He would stare down the devil to fight injustice to anyone who will remind him of his mother.
The military failed to control him because he refused to die for a fool's order.
Teachers made a mockery out of him because he was willed to believe that another man's facts are not his facts.

Driven by pride he became distinguishable in his choosen path.
Refused to seek success in this because him alone was a complete treasure.
He became a demigod,feeling the blood of superiority transforming his wholesome features into a godly being.
He became feared by those that try to evoke fear,
and loved for his beautiful heart.
But alone at night he was vulnerable like the child he was when he lost his mother.....

Dared to love another beautiful diamond that came his way
building empires for her just to keep her smile.
One day a call came while he was miles away that she was on her last breathe.
Like a demented demon he run for hours forgetting himself embraced with fear.
Alas he missed an opportunity to say goodbye and walked away without looking at what was left on the cold hospital table because that was nolonger her...

Everything that he built came crushing down on him
lost to the enbriation of all invasions he started ebbing away..
leaving in deteriorated buildings dreams shelfed and packed away..

His pain was turned to art,
a poet with a vengeful pen was born.
His only mission to let the world know of what he conquered and to make those he lost leave for ever in his words.
He refused to sell his poems or his book for personal profit because no one can afford to buy away his pain and purpose.

Drawn to the frolics of the world just to silence pain with after dusk pleasure.
Breaking hearts with his smile and indifferent farewells to demasals with attached hearts became a norm.
He was afraid to love or loved because life proved a merry go round of give and take....mostly take.

His first daughter came to life
but he didn't know how to love her so he left because for him she was an instrument to pin him down to a relationship imprisonment that he didn't care to want ..only needed for his therapeutic sessions as per agreement.
But atleast he gave her something that he was given;
an identity,he called her Star (His light in the dark)

And he writes his reasons for not being there with a broken heart
hoping she will rescue him from the darkness circumstances allocated to him.
When he tries to sleep his nights are restless caught between a dilemma,
could she be the reason he rewrite history or keep it repeating....

ln violent worlds he became a lone lion feeding on evil.
In society he became respected and loved by many yet he felt so alone

Now he found love and he is prepared to walk that path..
Because she is a reflection of him...
That gives him reason to turn around things
But life tests him or maybe it's his mind that does. .... equal evils or blessings.

Either way he will fight on and try walk alone without help that he was deprived from his birth.
His knees can not keep bruising from crawling anymore.
His name translate to *lone worrior* LUIS

He continues to fight on from the ash that he was born...
