What we have so far: Title Options: Whirlpool, Reaching for Glory, death, rest, emptiness (feel free to add anything)

In constant Turmoil and Motion, I reach for Glory Spinning Frantically "In the depths of [the] World's Darkness (16)" Aiming for "the special destiny in store A Glittering, Special-Order kind, no Ordinary Man would be permitted (17)" "The point of Light provided for me Alone Irradiating [me] and no other (16)" (what I'm adding now is just stuff I've thought of) I "[rise] and [fall](11)"sending "scattered quivering shadows [across] the feeble light [and] a dangerous glittering glaze not to be dismissed"(11) But the light ignores me, not even acknowledging my presence Spinning I reach for it once more in the darkness, forever alone And I realize "[I] am tired, Tired to death of the squalor and the boredom. [I] was convinced [I] had tasted it all, and [yet] I was glutted, What a fool I'd been! There was no glory to be found, Not anywhere in the world(111)" And in my desperation I look for stability Turning towards the "immobility of land, [her] eternally unchanging surface (16)" "Imagination whetting [my] lust as I walk along the narrow path (47)", I embrace her Clutching desperately and holding on to an everlasting kiss "Tears welling up" from the "dark, distant, envervated part of myself (18)" I grow closer to the land, crashing into her jagged rocks, moving ever so slowly But I don't mind "I was ready to die happily that very moment, and only when our noses brushed did I realize we were two separate bodies" "And I find myself halfheartedly believing the happiness she was bringing me (21)" I am blinded by love, and in my confusion "I sink [ever deeper] into a void (69)" "[Her] kiss was death, the very death in love I always dreamed of, (69)" And now "the softness of her lips, the crimson darkness of her mouth, the tepid coral sea(77)" had turned into poison "I could of sailed away forever, awakening again to the immensity of what I had abandoned (179)" The path back is too long and twisted now And I continue to crash into the rocks I try to spin but I have been trapped by the land Becoming ever slower and dissipating into nothing, "I am bitter, Glory, as anyone knows, is bitter stuff. (181)"

Notes: - I thought it would be cool to have the "whirlpool" drawn towards land and we could describe land as a women to represent Fusako and maybe he gets too close and then crashes into rocks and dies
