Leaving the forest - the words are mine.

That second stanza...is amazing. It took my breath away. Very nice.

Pleased you liked it.

That second stanza was provoked by the original (uncropped) picture which was too wide to smuggle in here (I just couln't bear to make Gackt's face any smaller!. The whole pic shows Gackt with a long rope and slat bridge behind him, which - together with the heavy bag - gave me the idea that he was leaving the forest which had been his summer home and which he had hoped to share with the person who had once promised to follow him anywhere. I was left wondering if he would turn his head and look back - or just walk on.

Thanks for leaving your reaction.

First, that picture of Gackt is really just so lovely! *0* He just looks...really beautiful and adorable here. I think it might be the bag...o.O Anyway, that poem sent shivers down my spine, it was just so amazing. Thank you so much for posting and sharing this, your poems are always so wonderful! ^0^

Hee - you did make me laugh: "it might be the bag"!!!

Well, the bag did figure slightly in the idea (I've put the li'l' story in the reply to the comment above) and I'm sorry to have chopped the rest of the photo cos you might have got a bit more of it!

I'm glad that you like these short one-shots. I'm always surprised and grateful at how Gackt's (often unsmiling) face can quickly get a story to grow in my mind. That's got to be one of his many talents but I don't have a name for it! It's a happy excuse to post more pictures of him though ;)

Thanks for reading and for leaving a kind comment.

I read the little story, and it was thought out so well, I really liked it! ^^

Anyway, I think that talent that he has is inspiration. Just pure inspiration. His hard work and determination inspires me to always do my best, and his beauty also inspires. Whether that beauty is his bodily beauty or the beauty that he displays through his singing (the latter is what inspired me to take up Japanese). So, yes, under Gackt's many, many talents, he also has inspiration under his belt! ^-^

You are completely right (why didn't I think of it?): Gackt is inspirational!

I too admire the way that he remains motivated to improve and will always try his hardest to make things as good as possible - whether it's singing, acting, riding a horse, using a sword or speaking to his fans (in Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, French, English or Japanese!). The man rocks.

And I'm still laughing over your bag comment - but it's easier to get hold of a bag than a Gackt so maybe it's not such a bad idea ;)

Well, when something is really obvious or when you are just so used to it, people usually don't see it. In this case, we are so used to Gackt being inspirational that we don't even really think about it.

Oh, and I still think the bag makes the picture! ;p

Bless you - I think you've proved the point that Gackt can even inspire with a bag! I love it how we all see and react to differnt aspects of the same: keeps life interesting.
