A Penny for Desmond's Thoughts...Aug 06 '07 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Don't worry, Desmond. Penelope will wait for you always... This has been a bad summer for me when it comes to beloved fictional characters. Before J. K. Rowling ripped my heart out again and again with Deathly Hallows, I was assaulted by the carnage in the LOST finale, which included the demise of Charlie as Desmond watched helplessly. Here's a reflection by Desmond shortly after the tragic event... Not Penny's Boat NOT PENNY'S BOAT, he wrote In black ink on his palm, His face so strangely calm As water filled that room. I'd shown him to his doom While someone pulled my strings; His thoughts on noble things, He'd played his final note. I watched him gently bend Like barley in the breeze And crumpled to my knees, Aghast at what I'd done. Her name shone like the sun Upon my eager eyes But brought not smiles but sighs As I grieved for my friend. Oh, Des, you were a fool, I mutter savagely As in my mind I see His steady gaze reach mine. In destiny's design, I was the perfect pawn. Now Charlie Pace is gone; I know that life is cruel. It seems I've killed them all. I only sought to save And possibly to pave The path that led to Pen. We'll never meet again Unless I break this curse That haunts me like a hearse. The chance of that is small. The words catch in my throat As I repeat them now, In torment over how To break the news to Claire. My love awaits somewhere, But no reunion rears. I shudder as fate sneers, It isn't Penny's boat.
