For you still I fail to find a name
Incapable of arranging a place
Once I tried to describe your form
In virtue of those immortal gods

And you the mysterious messenger
Why always holding your head high
Even though unshowing me your sneer
Wearing an unfathomable face forever

Attraction to mystery is human nature. Well written.

I'm not sure I understand this one.... :-)

I understand that there is someone mysterious and that you have tried to describe them and feel you have failed in some way... with the reference to the gods, I am assuming you put them in high regard... but the who.. or what..
is still a mystery to me....

Capt, thank you for your read and words.
Maybe I made a mistake to title the poetry with To Mysterious Person, actually that¡¯s not somebody or strictly speaking even cant say that¡¯s something. There was some time in the past I often thought of problems of philosophy, I hoped I could get some breakthrough but failed eventually, then came out this poetry........

ah~~ so it is written about the search for answers...wisdom, knowledge...

Now I understand more...
thank you

Through tomes and eyes of gods

Aloof, the words seem but circles
telling nothing to the soul that breaks through
the veil of this unknown
while in retrospect the prayers
to the gods were as flags upon the wind
which moved upon the staff
but never towards epiphany of reason
explaining why the knowledge ends
with the breath we take

The mystery is very well expressed here, dear Yuka.

"Oh, won't you come out? Whoever you are? You've followed me quite long enough."
- Genesis, Your Own Special Way
(I believe the quote is accurate, although I have not heard that particular song recently.)

Yuka, this poem of yours is a true gem, a diamond in the rough so to speak.

I may be reading this wrong but this poem reminds me of my high school days and how I would put a girl on a pedestal even though I knew so little about her. I think I have mysterious people in my past. Thanks for the poem.
