A/N: These are actually two different poems that are intertwined. The first one is Sephiroth on Lucretia, and the one that is interspersed in italics is Sephiroth on Hojo. Just a little something i decided to try out. Leave a review and tell me what you think?


Bonds of Ash and Blood
Vanquished from sight to solitude's repository

The threads that bind are the ones that tie you down

An earth besotted with claimants of hollow victory

Like a puppet dangling from the strings that frown

The beast resides not within woman or child

Your mismatched eyes and your crippled limbs

But from a deranged man once mild

Staring dully at the faces waiting as the theatre dims

Snatched from your bosom's warm embrace

Perchance you might slip and fall to the melody of dread

All the pieces of a hallowed past erased without a trace

They're there to hold you up on invisible masters lest you fret

You were left to despair in the wake of destruction

Flesh and blood become nothing but bones and joints

Wreaked by the puppet he raised up as a scion

Lurking behind gleaming teeth with razor points

But blood wraps around freshly awakened memories

Awkward mathematics of the ways you are stretched and turned

Across the lonesome boundaries and countless tragedies

Until all the treatments to heal you would have spurned

The one winged angel arises to seek the womb he sought shelter in

Using beguiling charms and subtle manuevers your wishes you convey

Not the experiment of sinister construction leading to unrepentable sin

You have no say and no power to run or disobey

Your cave is empty and its walls whisper and shudder

Watching dully as scenes of betrayal come on

They know that i have come back to seek my mother

Helpless to alter circumstances that cry out for the dawn
