Black Wolves and Feathers
By Travithian Axile
Black feathers in the night
When exposed to the light
Fades into gentle nothingness
Tempered by regretful sadness.
Awake;
Startled by a dream, terror in its wake
In the knowledge that the demons in the closet
Were real; Shivering, alone, beset.
Stronger, wiser beyond infinity
Numbering every drop of water in the sea
Different, and knowing it; a black wolf among white
It is lonely to be the elite.
Sometimes, in dreaming
Was there another voice, promising, lying?
In the times when even the black wolf longs for company and laughter
Did she come to fill a bleak mind with hate and slaughter?
The path used to be straight and narrow
The pattern a neat and orderly row
But now the control is breaking
And the pieces fall into dust, forgotten and decaying.
Darkness and fire
The black wolf stalks, venting his ire
Darkness calls, and there is an answer
In half- crazed eyes the reflected flames grow brighter.
Thus begins the journey into endless night
And the amassing of great power and might
But as the great becomes greater
So does ambition grow ever darker.
Over the verdant green
Into the icelands where chill winds keen
To the one break in the Planet's skin
A chasm where summoned Meteor once fell in.
The White and Black Materia glow softly
As Meteor falls, challenged by Holy
And in the Northern Crater
The black wolf falls, finally, forever.
Author's Ending Note: Hee, another poem about Sephy. I really AM obsessed.
shakes head to clear image of silver-haired villain from mind For fans of
TIAL, the next chapter, A Knight in Black Armor, will hopefully be up by
next week. Thanks to any reviewers!
