KL's Poetry

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

I've decided to start a topic in which I'll post some of the poetry I've written. I've heard that what I write is pretty good, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. I'll start off with one here:

The Final Battle

This is it, we're finally here.

All events lead up to this.

We get ready, it's about to start.

We all grab weapons with our fists.

The cutscene ends, the fight begins.

We all get ready with our swords.

We take a classic fighter's stance

To face the monstrous demon horde.

With a flurry of slashes, left and right,

We send the monsters back to Hell.

But suddenly, a human scream.

1 of 4 comrades just fell.

Suddenly, the demons leap,

And we three watch with fright

As the demon hordes devour his corpse,

Their faces all alight.

Soon they finish their grisly meal

And turn back to us three.

They know they have a better chance.

Their faces fill with glee.

One comrade makes a giant leap

To grab our fallen comrade's sword.

Suprisingly, there came a parting

In the giant demon horde.

But it soon became apparent

Why the demon horde did part.

For our comrade fell a bit too short,

A massive arrow in his heart.

The demons make another leap

Onto the second fallen man.

We despise them for their hellish actions,

The demon horde, eternally damned.

They finish up their second meal

And get up quickly, ready to fight.

We stare at them, we take a stance.

Their glee is smote out by our spite.

Within an instant a duet starts,

But no ordinary music is played.

The singing of swords, accomponied

By the screams of demons as they are slain.

We continue on with our deadly duet

And cut their large numbers in half.

Our sharp swords of demon death

Cut through their shields and staffs.

We both take out one quarter more each

Before a splash of red blood comes.

The third of 4 comrades has fallen.

The demons play their victory drums.

One quarter of the horde is left

And in their midsts I stand alone.

To continue by myself against this giant

Would be the same as to throw a stone.

I am granted some more precious time

As they start another grisly feast.

Then I am struck with an idea

Of how to take down this monstrous beast.

As the demons eat, I start to channel

The souls of my fallen comrades three

And send them to my corner bar,

Which slowly turns from red to green.

My fingers fly to the buttons I need

In order to take the final demon lives,

And in a flurry of lightning, fire, and ice,

Hundreds of skeletons, still smoking lie.

As the final credits begin I lay my controller

Down to rest for a long long while.

I turn to my three friends who sit beside me

And give them all a triumphant smile.

They smile back, but deep inside

I know that they are angry,

For while thay died to help the cause,

I stayed to grab the victory.

With a button press, I make the save

That puts my name in the Hall of Fame

And with one last look at my victorious score,

I turn off the finally beaten game.

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

I'll continue to just post what I've written in different replies. I don't want to make a massive single post.

Unrequited

Even as I sit here,

My mind begins to drift

Away from pain, away from joy,

Away from feelings,

Away from life itself.

It drifts away from all this,

And it comes to you.

A brilliant light

In the dark place we call life.

It floods my mind

And takes over my body.

My thoughts, my senses, my feelings,

All consumed by something

I've never felt before.

And it's all because of you.

And yet, you don't realize it.

The light begins to fade.

I realize that

You don't see me for what I am,

For what I could become.

I live every day

Hoping that you will realize this...

But you don't.

Every day I see you.

I take every breath for you.

Every beat of my heart is for you.

All of my thoughts, for you.

And I hope every day

That it will be the day

That you finally realize it...

But I've yet to see that day,

And I don't know that I ever will.

The light, your light,

Disappears.

And I'm left in darkness

As reality takes hold once more.

[XG Fox]

:lol:

Daaang, everyone's a lot better than I am... nice work!

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

These next to poems are related to eachother, so I'll be posting them together.

Defeat

And so, it happens again.

Another quarrel,

Another attack of meaningless strife.

And where does it lead us?

To strained friendship, heartache, and pain.

I try to explain, but you wont listen.

I give my reasons, and you shoot them down.

I try to be a good friend, but Im always the one at fault.

And even when the dust has cleared from our Hellish battle,

The war is far from over.

For it is never enough that Ive apologized.

It is never enough that I tried to just end our foolish attacks.

Never enough that Im the one dying on the battlefield.

Because youre never satisfied.

My stripped pride is not enough to quench your thirst.

My bruised and deformed mind is not enough to fulfill your hunger.

Because I try to be a good friend,

You question my reasons, tear me down,

Grind me into the dust,

Make me lower than the ground on which you stand and berate me.

And in that point when I am almost finished,

Where I almost cease to live,

Where my lungs are nearly filled with the dust you grind me into

You let me back up.

You finally see the light

Or so I think.

For in the future I see that all you did

Was allow me to recover.

So you can nearly kill me again.

Recovery

It is a never-ending cycle

Of war,

Loss,

Pain,

And then recovery.

And I oftentimes wonder,

How do I survive it all?

How can I live such a cycle of life?

And then I realize.

It is because of you.

In those battles of emotional destruction,

You are the shelter that keeps me protected

From the bombardment of insults,

The medic that heals my wounds,

The light that helps me see clearly

And stay focused on my goal.

And after the battle has ended,

When I am lying prostrated and helpless,

You are the one who comes to my rescue.

The one who gets me back on my feet,

Who wipes away my tears

And helps to heal my scars.

In all other aspects of life, as well,

You are the guardian angel

Who watches over me

And helps me through those hard times.

The leg to stand on when I am weak,

The shining light when my life is dark,

The break in the storm when I am sad,

The cooling breeze when I am angry.

Whenever I feel alone, you are there.

All those times that I have been down,

You have been there to lift my head

And keep me going.

You have brought me peace and joy

When I thought there was no chance

For it to exist.

And should I never able to repay you

For all that you have done for me in my life,

I want to thank you and tell you that,

Whatever happens,

Even in the face of death,

I could never forget you,

And I will always love you.

[XG Fox]

Wow... those are great... I don't know what to say...

You're okay, right? I don't know, some of them seemed kinda... dark, you know what I mean?

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

:lol: Thanks, XG, glad you like 'em.

And yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry.

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

I've just written another poem, so I'll place it on here. Be forewarned, this one is very dark.

Transformation

My hand quivers with fear

As I point the gun at your

Kneeling form.

My friends lay around me,

Lifeless due to you.

All of the anger Ive ever felt,

All the sorrow, all the pain,

Everything that has darkened my life,

Packed into this solitary bullet.

But why do I fear?

What is stopping me from ending

Your miserable existence?

I begin to lower my gun

But then I look into your eyes.

I see all of the lies, all of the faux despair,

And I see that you think Ill let you free.

And without a second thought,

The gun is level with your forehead.

In a single trigger-pull,

Your life has ended,

And all the death you caused

Has been avenged.

But as I stand there

And watch the blood run from your lifeless corpse,

I finally realize

What it was I had feared.

I fall to my knees

And look at my hands

As they begin again to shake uncontrollably.

I realize that I did not fear the consequences of my actions,

What other people would think of me

Or do to me.

I feared that I would become

That which had caused my actions.

I feared that I would become

You.

A cold-hearted killer, a soul-less murderer.

And as I kneel there in front of your body,

Sobbing into my hands that continue to shake,

I realize that what I had feared

Has come to pass,

And that in your place,

I have put myself.

[XG Fox]

Woah... no kidding...

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

Yeah, sorry...I'm not even entirely sure where it came from. The idea just kinda' popped into my head and I started writing.

[Gamecuber459]

That's exactly how I create my poetry. I don't plan it out at all. I just go to my topic, post a reply, and the words just flow from my mind and I type. Very nice poetry KL. You have quite a flair for dark poetry, like me. :D

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

Yeah, I've never planned a single piece of poetry. You just write, that's the best way to do it. And thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

I'd like to thank XG Fox for giving me this latest idea. So, I now present to you all, a poem dedicated to that sexy blue fox we all do love so much:

Krystal

Where has it gone?

The life you had,

The family,

The future.

In one fiery blast,

Your world is obliterated,

And your life

Thrown into disarray.

And you were so close to

Returning to that life

You loved so much.

You watched from the cargo freighter,

Watched your blue home come

Closer and closer.

But then something went wrong,

And the home that you were so close to

Was no longer there.

As you fall to your knees and cry,

You wonder what youre going to do.

You have nothing to live for.

Everything you knew

Is gone.

And just before you lose all hope,

You realize that

There may yet be a purpose for you

In this cold, dark universe.

You wipe the tears from your face

And with a steely resolution,

Sneak to the docking bay of the freighter.

As you jump into the nearest fighter

And ignite its engines,

You think about your decision.

You know the pain of losing everything,

Your family, friends, home,

And even life.

Perhaps,

If you can prevent this from happening to others,

You can still have a good life.

And as you fly out of the docking bay,

Not knowing where youre going

Or what the future holds,

You decide to discard your old name,

For you are no longer the same person.

And so, you jet off

In the direction of the nearest distress signal,

Your new name on your lips.

Krystal.

[Hioshen]

Nice writing KL. You use a nice flow of words to get the audience attacted to it great. I quited writing becasue franking I shucked at it so I'm not gonig ot cont. my story I was writing.

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

:shock: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. And with time, you'll become a better writer. It just takes some practice, really.

[Guest Lord_Korvis]

That was really good. And based on the best charecter too. I was wondering, if you want, could you do one of these poems on General Aerhos in my RPG. If you don't want to, that's cool..

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

Yeah, sure, I'd love to do one. You'd just have to give me some info on him and then I'd see what I could do.

[Guest Loner in the Stars]

Awesome KL. Dark poetry, you have got to LOVE it. :shock:

His Bio is in the WAR! RPG Sign-up sheet.

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

Alrighty, cool, I'll see if I can write one about him. And thanks for the comment, Loner. :D

[XG Fox]

The Krystal poem should be pretty good, won't it KL?

Judging by your past works, it will be! :D

[Guest Krystal's_Lover]

Umm...it's already up...on the last page...but thanks for the compliment, anyway.

[XG Fox]

What the... you're kidding! WOW, that was FAST!

:D thanks, guys, I really appreciate all the comments. Not to mention that they, couple with the thread, are helping to keep me up to a steady flow of writing poetry.
