Author's Notes: The small dialogue points in this are completely and utterly out of character. I didn't even attempt to make them that way and instead just try to convey some of the emotions the poem was attempting to express through those few words. This whole thing really came out of no where, I have no clue what inspired me to write it but it's here nonetheless.

Be As It May…Rippling waves of the past flooded
Over the vast terrain
Spreading,
Far over the layway
Of the unending night
Alone
Standing in paced existence
Where no other dares
To venture
In the late hours of the eve
The spiraling waves
Of a bloodied past
The tangling pride
And a loving face
Forever holding place
Within the recessives of all life
Caring without passion
And living without unjust
To jest the light of the flower
Brings upon the waking of a new day
"Be as it may," the tangible wind mustered
Parted lips spread
As the words of a broken heart murmured unshed tears
"Live as may be,"
Broken as life
For nothing ever succeeds
In the waning of a lost soul
Grounds shook with an endearing force
A placid figure laying helplessly atop its cold front
"Stay, leave to me these bitter dealings."
Words of a broken heart
The lone warrior
Forever lost in a haze that had once been,
Lost,
Within the memories
Of an unforgettable past
Of deaths and cherished memories
The final atonement has been reached
And moved aside with a dismissive wave
Carrying upon itself
The weight of a thousand lies
A thousand words unshed
Of a facade endearing of normal fate
"Is time unending?
Will these awful lies
be stripped from me?" questioned the solemn whisper
Light unknown and only darkness encompassing
Such is the fate of those who know not of the light
Or so the aged warrior knew
And sought
For the light was forever gone,
Diminished,
Taken away with the fitful years of youth
"Sins no more,
let me bring an end to the pain"
Somber promises, an unfaithful end
For as warriors clash
So do their fates,
Their times entwining and forever wrapping
Casting an obsidian gaze to the distance
The winds parting
Bringing a peace to the mind's eye
The lone warrior choose his fate
Stilled and suited,
He knew nothing better
Not a better fate,
Not a better death
For which he was prepared
And now in the waking of this light
A classic and proud smirk graced chastised lips
Gloved fingers enclosing
And a fitful restlessness settling within a darkened soul
"Be as it may, stay fair, stay."
Caressing the sleeping figure,
An amused atmosphere cascading
Before the lone warrior stood,
Unnerved but willing
To look the darkness of his soul
On right,
To the days now cloaked in uncertainty
For even if he were never to walk,
Never to speak,
Never to fight
Again,
He knew he had done his best
For the world knew nothing of his tormenting soul
With which the devil himself had created
And with wistful thoughts of an upcoming lust,
Of a battle cry sure to break apart the heavens,
Vegita, the Saiyan Prince of a two person race,
Was stilled and ready,
Ready for the death
That was pronounced as his own
No longer unnerved
Perhaps worried, yes,
But ready
"Be as it may,
but never bitter.
Hold fast and I shall protect,
For the endearing love I share
Shall not weaver.
And even as my last breathe leaves
My cursed soul,
My thoughts shall be of you,
My dear family
And you,
My dear rival…"
And with a mask of pride,
And an all-knowing smirk,
Vegita left to face fate as it saw fit.
