Marissa Faries Poet Narrative

A Pupil And A Teacher

Long ago, there was a student and a teacher,
They took vows to avoid carnal desire,
But they secretly longed to merge together.
Yet lived rest of their lives tending to a fire.

The teacher chose the pupil not out of favor,
But for the pupil's ability to perceive forever.
The pupil's natural gift to look into the aether
Mirrored the teacher's ability to see the future.

They lived together high up on a mountain
In a monastery with a magnificent fountain.
The pupil came to seek refuge from old pain,
So the teacher provided lessons and grain.

Over time, the teacher became enamored,
With how the pupil focused, never bored
Even by all the lessons they had repeated, 
The pupil was never left feeling defeated.

The pupil's self-awareness, self-discipline
All improved to point of being without sin.
The pupil also felt more than just appreciation,
Indeed there was secret love and devotion.

But due to their vows, their love couldn't be,
They lived until they died and souls were free,
Lived a holy life philosophizing in harmony.
Now, it is a past time only the pupil can see.

The pupil became a seer of the distant past
Perceiving all of the patterns that always last.
While the teacher became a future worrier,
The pupil became an intense soothsayer. 

In current times: they longed, they waited
For an ancient love that has made them fated
To be together, finally make love to each other,
They finally know the true meaning of forever.
