A/N: This was a free verse poem, written to be an epic poem- a poem meant to tell a story of adventure, that I wrote for a school assignment for my best friend about four years ago. Even though the poem was based on Methur, I had to write it with a hetero couple because her teacher would have not like it this way. I revised it for here though, but some of the rhythm is now choppy. Sorry and I hope you enjoy!
What Lies Underneath
A tale as old as time where a boy meets a boy
Two sides of one coin so different yet one.
One a prince thought nothing of himself
But had a heart of gold.
The warlock born with nothing
Yet had everything he needed, the love of family.
The prince though surrounded by a sea of people, lonely was he.
Though the warlock had nothing but a kind smile and a sarcastic remark,
he had friends of plenty that never let him fall.
Fate is a path that can lead you to your hearts true desire '.
Honor and duty like the journey up hill.
True love is the stars that guide your path.
The Negative thoughts that cloud your sight, like fog clouds your path.
Fate is the people you meet as you cross the paths of life.
Till one day the warlock with nothing met the prince with everything.
Upon meeting the other half,
Nothing but harsh words and looks of death were passed.
As time went on the hearts of the two changed.
They were not what they first appeared.
The prince had a golden heart, the warlock the gift to love.
Fate is a path that can lead you to your hearts true desire '.
Honor and duty like the journey up hill.
True love is the stars that guide your path.
The Negative thoughts that cloud your sight, like fog clouds your path.
Fate is the people you meet as you cross the paths of life.
As problems arose from small and insignificant
To problems that could change all they knew.
As they helped each other through their love for each other grew.
It may have been hate at first sight,
But now it's true love through and through.
Now they wish to be wed,
The only problem being now,
The Cruel King thought the warlock to be to lowly to rule by Prince's side.
Unconvinced, the prince would deny the throne for true love.
The warlock with a great since of duty
Could not allow him to give up all he knew.
The warlock denies his hearts greatest love.
All a while fleeing his destiny, he goes back to where he started
But Fate would not allow for the two sides of the same coin to be apart.
Fate is a path that can lead you to your hearts true desire '.
Honor and duty like the journey up hill.
True love is the stars that guide your path.
The Negative thoughts that cloud your sight, like fog clouds your path.
Fate is the people you meet as you cross the paths of life.
Many months pass, when the warlock hears of a kingdom with a sorrowful prince,
Who allows his kingdom to crumble because of his heartache.
Realizing his mistake, the warlock runs back to his fate.
Two sides of the same coin reunited once more
And never to be divided again.
The warlock dressed in fine clothes makes this vow to his prince:
"When we first met you were very haughty,
You treated everyone like lowly servants,
Not to mention your taste was just gaudy.
Don't know how you were raised by your parents-
Still that attitude of yours I hate the most.
You acted as though you owned all the world.
Furthermore you did nothing but to boast,
I wanted to put you in a chokehold.
But once I broke through your arrogant front,
I saw a gold heart that lay underneath.
Your belove' ones are at your mind's forefront.
You will fight for them until your last breath.
When I see your golden heart such as this,
I will love you with all that I exist"
