A/N:It's not the first poem I've written, but it's the first I'm posting, considering it's not completely stupid and it actually has a decent ending. Most of my other poems are and don't. Believe it or not, this pathetic thing is actually an improvement on my usual 'style'.
Only for those who have FINISHED Dragon Star: Stronghold. THERE IS A MAJOR SPOILER.
Burnt to Ashes
I once had a lovely home
An impregnable castle of stone
An oasis in the Desert
A carefully tended garden
Amidst the burning sands
A fortress that never fell
But I burnt it all to Ashes
I once had a loving husband
A man I loved for forty-four years
A man with eyes of sky-made-steel
A man of complex mind and caring heart
A prince I served with all my soul
He was my strength and I was his
But now he is burnt to Ashes
I once had a living heart
A heart that beat effortlessly
A heart of flesh and red, red blood
A heart that raced when I first saw him
A heart that ached when I nearly lost him
A heart that knew not how to break –
But now it is nothing but Ashes
A/N: So how'd you people like it? Not too confusing, right? If it is, youpeople have to tell me, or else it won't get fixed!
