in DEATH there is a Black t r a d i t i o n,
children (listen carefully),
in DEATH you must go
in a blaze of g l o r y
(yes, this is the M-A-N-D-A-T-O-R-Y)
F.I.R.S.T there was ((little)) Regulus
face set
eyes s/h/u/t/t/e/r/e/d
fate cast
as he d e f i e d
the most feared Dark Wizard of his time
screaming for Kreacher to escape,
he got dragged down by the dead
to join them in Hell
fell like a sinner
fell like a puppet with b r o k e n strings
[in his DEATH there is r e d e m p t i o n]
N.E.X.T there was Sirius not-Black
.::blood traitor::.
.::Phoenix member::.
with
blazing eyes
mouth w i d e,
laughinglaughinglaughing
fighting skilled Bella,
barely there's a scream—
(("Your very own cousin."))
one s e c o n d
of carelessness—
flash GONE
fell i n t o DEATH itself
[his DEATH is for James' boy, Harry Potter]
oh, and while we speak of Black
blood-traitors
o n c e u p o n t i m e
lovelyprincessAndromeda
got off her pedestal
threw down her crown
eyes FIERCE
figure PROUD
words STRONG
(("I am marrying a Mudblood, mother."))
fell like a stone marble
fell from grace (disowned child)
fell with g r a c e - p r i d e - g l o r y
beautiful shooting star
[her DEATH is for the Mudblood she loves]
T.H.I.R.D there was goodgirl Cissy
.::beautifulangelicdaughter::.
eyes anxious
heart waveringLOVINGhoping
die t o s s e d
she took up her sword
weakened the m o n s t e r
as she pronounced (fake-ly)
the DEATH
of
H a r r y P o t t e r
(her last act of d e f i a n c e
towards Dark Lord Voldemort)
and as she stood,
t a l l a n d p r o u d,
there's a whisperscream in her ear,
(("RegulusandSiriusandAndromeda."))
so she kissed the r e a l w i t c h—
DEATH
fell like a burning Phoenix,
in a h a z e of
ashes and fire,
kicking sparks
[her DEATH saves the childsheloves and the childshebelievesin]
L.A.S.T there was Slytherin Bellatrix
.::the star that s h o n e the brightest::.
hair wild
eyes f e r a l
laugh cruel
while her wand
(powerful in her hands)
shot curses/drew fireworks
(she screamed them,
lovelypureexhilaration)
and as she d a n c e d
across the carnage
o n e b y o n e
each enemy
fell under her wand
but then themotherthewifethewitch
L O V E D a n d
inaflash
skilledBella dancingBella proudBella
fell by the h a n d
of the blood traitor
[her DEATH for the sake of her unrequited LOVER]
so listen, children,
follow the RULE,
(maybe it's a curse but also a blessing)
in DEATH you will go
in a blaze of g l o r y
fighting for what you believe in,
proudly.
A/N: I don't own Harry Potter or other affiliated material. Was trying my hand at something FreeVerse-ish. Played with the tenses a bit. Please review, thanks! ^^
