Arashi Posted May 27, 2010 Report Posted May 27, 2010 Next to me lies beauty Hair soft as silk Slumbering ever so silently Giving meaning to my existence I hold her close in my arms Kiss her brow gently Allowing the curtains to fall on my world Behind those curtains is lightning and thunder Winds howl and rain soaks my face Looking to the blackened sky I raise my sword and soul in defiance Screams of this world deafen the faint of will Beauty is not there to cure the Shadow's syndrome Taken by the Dark One was Beauty Brought to the top of the Burning Mountain To be a sacrifice for the Dark One's Lust I begin to trek the mountain with great haste Any moment Beauty would be engulfed by the mountain Upon the precipice I stand Sword pointed at the Dark One Beauty held above it's head My enemy turns to face me The Dark One releases Beauty Unsheathing it's blade we charge Lightning cracks as swords cross Thrust, parry, bump, and then scream In our foolish dance of death Beauty was the victim Dropping to my knees the sword falls I scream to the heavens in humiliation The Dark One laughs to my side With unbridled anger I take up the sword and thrust The screams of the Dark One are heard across the land The Burning Mountain erupts Sending Beauty into the blackened sky Within moments she is engulfed by her life's fire Casting out the cure to the shadow's syndrome Tears roll down my cheeks as I look up to Beauty My focus shifts back to the Dark One His true form finally revealed to the world What is seen shakes me to my foundation The Dark One's face is that of a mirror Looking into it's eyes I see only myself I am the one to blame for this worlds suffering My curtains lift to the brightness of the morning sun The dream has ended but Beauty is no longer by my side In her place is a letter penned from the heart It reads "Thank you for saving me and goodbye my love" __________________________________________________________ It's been far too long since I have written anything, aside from the small bit of lyrics when I should be working. I hope this piece is qualified enough to be my re-entry into the Pen's archives. Thank you for reading.
