Note: Inspired by The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
In glistening grand, regally reside,
Trying to recapture the past he hides,
Longing for days of fondness and grace,
But only finding an empty glass case.
The light on the pier, a beacon bright,
Symbolizing this lover's futile plight,
To repeat the happiness once known,
But in the end, he dies alone.
The green luminescence glints just out of reach,
A symbol of downfall, doomed in his speech,
For all his gold and grandeur vast,
He cannot change the shadows cast.
His eros is naive, pure and true,
A fantasy in guise of a dreamscape he'll only pursue,
Woven a web in of lies and deceit,
This dreamer's fate is bittersweet.
His tragic tale is one of woe,
A man who let the past bestow,
Upon him a burden too heavy to bear,
And now he's left this world in despair.
The glow on the pier, a distant gleam,
A reminder of all of his shattered mirages,
He tried to recapture days long gone,
But in the end, he's remembered as gone.
