Cycle
Fire, blood, and death unmeasured
He flies with great haste towards the treasure
Opalescent, smooth as pearl
Power to control the world
Driven by desperate need for revenge
And soul-pain caused by a double edge
He seizes the jewel of the four warring souls
And quickly takes off towards warm, grassy knolls
Just as with forest comes salvation
His love looks up with degradation
His previous love, but him she betrayed
She nocks arrow to bow and screams out his name
The sharpened airborne blade does fly
As it pierces his heart he gives a cry
Pinning him to that sacred tree
Induced sleep charm, no longer free
Forever suspended in animation
Defying all the gods' creation
His hated love sinks to the ground
Fades away with no peace found
Wounds inflicted by the talons
Blood leaks from her flesh in gallons
Jagged scars where claws had slashed
By her old love as away he dashed
And to her grave, with corpse is burned
That cursed jewel which tables turned
And as her flesh the flames are charring
She dies with malice towards her darling
Color of pale skin turns to rust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But ancient dirt is stirred again
Through old dry well a familiar femme
That terrible jewel had worked its ways
And sent a soul flying through the days
Defying years and centuries
Defying hopes, wills, tears, and dreams
This girl has traveled back in time
To witness the product of terrible crime
That live-dead boy impaled on bark
And to his presence she does hark
When pursued by a monster great
She fears that it may be too late
She stumbles towards the ominous cloud
Which hangs over the forest like a shroud
And her presence he does encumber
Wakes him from his timeless slumber
As the jewel bursts forth from skin
The bloody cycle begins again
That hated smell his senses fills
Tickling his whole spine with chills
But there's a difference, not quite the same
Different spirit, different name
Same soul resides within the mind
But a much brighter flame there does reside
The nearness of that similar presence
The intoxicating omniessence
Those hypnotizing eyes of amber
Dart between the monster and her
And to save herself from death
She pulls the arrow from his chest
From restricting binds bursts forth
Shocking east, west, south, and north
Ferocious fighter, fangs and claws
Breaking all of nature's laws
His sanity barely retained
Anxiety hardly constrained
Her heart beats fast inside her chest
As he takes care of all the rest
The jewel retrieved from gruesome ground
A sickening stench is all around
At first anger controls his heart
He wants to tear this girl apart
But his stomach turns as he sees then
The bloody cycle begins again
More battles subsequently ensue
With the fiends after the jewel
The jewel that only brings the worst
Bestows upon holder a curse
To make the years seem overlapped
As in a cycle they are trapped
And then the girl from long ago
Returns again as fearful foe
Her heart is cold, vicious as well
She tries to drag her love to Hell
For she was not a true rebirth
Undead in a body of bones and earth
Her soul a fraction of what it was
Her hate controlling what she does
Attempting to kill both girl and boy
Pretending to love him as a ploy
He doesn't know which girl to choose
He fears that either way he'll loose
Girl from future, girl from past
Hoping that their lives will last
Long enough for him to see
Which leads to his destiny
He realizes something then
A wilder spirit burns within
The younger one who sprung from the dark
And in his cold heart lit a spark
A roaring inferno it's now become
He thinks that she may be the one
His barriers of ice he's melted down
Replaced with a smile his usual frown
A feat no other could accomplish
A fact that from others her it does distinguish
And now as his heart she does take
That bloody cycle she shall break.
