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...
