A.N.: Hello everyone! Here is the first of the slew of writing content I hope to deliver over the weeks when a new chapter of Portrait of a Young Woman or What Happens After Next? I wrote this poem about a year ago, in Spring of 2006, not so long after I beat Kingdom Hearts II. I hope you guys just like what I have to offer, since this is different from the normal stories I usually write.
Can you guess who this is about..? I'll tell you once you're done reading the poem. Now get reading!!!

"Within the Realm of Darkness"
A Shakespearean Sonnet
By
Malcolm Yuy
---------------------------------------------
I am trapped within the realm of darkness
Where love is lost and light cannot be found
And my heart feels like that of a heartless
Cold, bitter, where the body and soul feel unbound
And as my heart wavers, I can feel light
Disappearing into the shadows to
Further power the realm of endless night
What's happening to me? What can I do?
To escape this darkness and become one
Reach the doorway of light, and onward, home?
Yet, if I escape, I may be undone,
My being destroyed and my heart, aloneā¦
I hear your voice, and now, we'll truly see
Who reigns over darkness, my fear, or me?

If you can't figure it out from the diction, it's about Riku, when he trapped in the realm of darkness during Chain of Memories. I wrote this for a poetry project in English 1102 and I just thought it was cool to write about this. And this sonnet was the result.
So until next time, later readers!- Malcolm Yuy
