Twilight Reflections
~oOo~
Some say that Twilight is a silly tale
Painting the world in a pink haze
A heroine
Falling head over heels
In love with a school mate
Handsome, in an uncanny sort of way
A boy with bronze hair
Looking seventeen
But more than five times her years
In reality, hardly one of her peers
~oOo~
Later she learns
He is a vampire
But, of course, not of the ordinary kind
No, he glitters when the sun shines
A Superhero in all means
Coming to rescue
His damsel in distress
And of course, humans are safe in his trace
He lives on the blood of lions and gazelles
~oOo~
His mere presence makes our heroine
Fall into some kind of trance
Yes, she is in a daze
Kind of enchanted
Flattered and amazed
When he reveals, he spies on her at night
To her, it is a token of romance
Although many see it as a sign
Of an obsession of an unhealthy kind
~oOo~
But our Edwardian hero, truth be said
Is a true gentleman in many ways
And a virgin, having patiently waited
Almost a century, yes, a long, long time
For his singer, his bride
The only one
Whose mind he is not able to unveil
He is even willing to leave her side
To grant her a normal human life
To save her from the danger
His very presence entails
~oOo~
Neither does he wish to make her into one of his own
No, from turning her into a vampire, he refrains
Even if it would make his highest wish come true
~oOo~
Because as long as she is human, and so fragile
There is barrier, they cannot fully be mates
Nor be truly close
As husband and wife
But he is ready to see her age
Although he would stay
Frozen, in his seventeen kind of state
Yes, Twilight may be said
To be a tale of a love impossible in all ways
~oOo~
And when, at the peak of our tale
When he thinks she died
He seeks to end his own undead life
Yes, our story could very well here have come to an end
In a kind of Romeo and Juliet way
Had it not been for our heroine
Entering the nest of vampire kings
And saving the day
~oOo~
Our heroine, she is a maid
In her late teens
Having no higher desire
Than to end her human life
To become a vampire who shines
Because she does not wish to age another day
But to be with the Prince of this tale
And all that such an existence entails
~oOo~
She is willing to sacrifice
Her whole human way of life
Leave it all behind
And bid family and friends goodbye
Because she feels there would be no life
Worth living, without her Prince by her side
Yes, many would say
That Twilight is a tale
Of love and passion fierce as the grave
~oOo~
But others would say, it is a tale
Of blind infatuation, and also the appeal
Of eternal youth, health and wealth
But to be bound to this earth
Is that indeed a fate to seek?
When you are only seventeen
You hardly yet know a thing
About yourself, the world or anything
~oOo~
Yes, there are those who claim
Twilight is a silly tale
Depicting romance in an unrealistic, sappy way
Painting the world in a rosy haze
A tale for those so naïve to still believe in fairy tales
~oOo~
Yes, it is for romantic fools, some would say
Because such guys as Edward are hardly even real
Nor such guys as Jacob, his rival in this tale
But are Princes of girly dreams
~oOo~
Yes, she has two suitors, not one
Our heroine is surrounded by guys of the supernatural kind
A werewolf, a vampire
Both Superheroes in their own right
~oOo~
A classical triangle drama, to add some spice
To the fluffy, blind, passionate romance
Overflowing on all sides
~oOo~
Yes, in many ways
Twilight may be a romantic fairy tale
Quite silly, you may say
But on the other hand, is it not sometimes nice
To dream yourself away
Enter the land of princes of the otherworldly kind
And truth be told, also in real life
Love is passionate and blind
Strong as the grave
A saving grace
~oOo~
