A/N: After watching Code Geass for the umpteenth time, this poem came to mind. It's originally written in my mother language, as you can clearly see, but, I did try my best to translate it as accurately I could in English without letting it lose all of its "magic" in the process. This is my first published poem and a way to signal my return to FanFiction. It is also my first work about Code Geass, so be gentle.

Άνοιξε τα μάτια, Δαίμονα Ιππότη
Η μάγισσα με τα χλωρά μαλλιά
Ζητάει να σ' αγγίξει.
.
Από το αίμα βασιλιά
Και της απόγνωσης γροθιά γεννιέσαι
.
Άνοιξε τα μάτια
Μη διστάσεις
H διαταγή σου νόμος στυγερός
.
Σαν το χέρι σου σηκώνεις η Ιαπωνία ξαγρυπνά
Κι αν η ελευθερία σε πονά
Στον αγώνα σου θα τρέξεις
Θα πονάς…
.
Την αδελφική αγάπη
Σήκωσε λάβαρο γενναίο στην καρδιά
Τα μάτια της τα κλειστά
Δύναμη σου δίνουν
.
Η σιωπή δεν μαρτυρά
Για ποιόν η καρδιά σου λαχταρά
Κι όμως της σφαγής τη σημαία ανυψώνεις δυνατά...
Μη φοβάσαι
Την αγάπη σου θα συναντήσεις σύντομα ξανά
.
Για το μέλλον που ζητάς
Μη διστάσεις να παλέψεις
Πρίγκιπα της Νύχτας
Τα δάκρυα δεν βοηθάν
.
Κάτω από τη μάσκα σου ανασαίνεις
Και η αγανάκτηση βροντά
Δεν φοβάσαι θάνατο,
Τον έζησες ξανά
.
Χαμένε Βασιλιά Επαναστάτη,
Στου φίλου σου τα χέρια παρέδωσες τα σκήπτρα και τη φυλακή…
.
Δαίμονα Αυτοκράτορα, άνοιξε τα μάτια!
Σε περιμένει η μάγισσα με τα χλωρά μαλλιά
Translation
(Note: Not strictly accurate for enjoyment purposes)
Open your eyes, Demon Knight
The witch with verdant hair
seeks your touch
.
From the blood of a king
and the desperation's fist you hail
.
Open your eyes
Hesitate not
Your order is the law
.
As your hand you raise Japan wakes
And even though freedom ails you so
In your battle you shall run
You will ache...
.
The sibling's love
a brave pennon raise in your heart
For her closed eyes
grant you might
.
Silence reveals not
whom your heart craves
And yet you hoist the bloody slaughter's flag...
Fear not,
Your love you shall meet again soon enough
.
For the future you seek
never hesitate to struggle
Prince of Night
Tears are no aid
.
Beneath your mask you breathe;
Your indignation thunders
You fear no death,
For you have met him way before
.
Lost Rebellion King,
In your friend's hands you surrendered your scepters and your prison
.
Demon Emperor, open your eyes!
The witch with verdant hair awaits
*I know that technically Lelouch was an Emperor rather than a King, but please bear with it. The word "king" does not strictly mean King, per se; it's more like an emotional title.
Author's note(rant): To those of you who follow me from my Naruto stories: I am still alive! I am still here! Alive and kicking!
Oh God, I missed FanFiction so much those past months I have been inactive. Even though I should really be sleeping, since its 2.35 a.m -or preferably studying for my Philosophy exam right now-, I opted to write something, to start again as a fanfic writer, in a kind of different way. I thought that maybe a poem could help me start afresh ^.^'
I know it's been so long since I last updated any of my other stories, and I am most terribly sorry about that. There are a pile of good reasons for that though, but now it's not the proper time for explanations (Those "explanations" will be given soon, I promise you that.) Now, because I am still not finished with my finals and I won't be able to write properly for my other stories before the 18th of July, I felt the desperate need to start honing my writing skills again. After all, 'Binds of My Duty and Love' and 'Meyio' cry for my attention for months! But fear not, my dear Naruto stories! You shall never be abandoned!
I most humbly apologize to those of you who follow me as an author and wait for an update, but do you think you could please spend a tiny bit of your time to enjoy a Code Geass "creation"?
I know this poem is nothing special, but please do not hesitate to take just a little of your precious time to leave me with your -hopefully good- thoughts about this small coy attempt. And please no flames! I am just starting to gain back the heart to write again. Do not let me disappear and sulk back under the covers. T.T
