Author's Note:
So it's my birthday and I decided to celebrate by coming off of hiatus. Enjoy this poem I wrote. It was inspired by the poems you get about ancient gods and stuff, and set in an AU where the trolls actually won their session and went on to be gods in our universe. First attempt at poetry so please don't judge me. I tried with the techniques and stuff.
She is the time that ticks ever onwards
Apathetic to the will of man
Empathetic not to his whims
A countdown, a steady reminder
That eventually all life is lost
He is the breath that carries the wind
Lifting those who dream of flying
Drying the tears of those who give up
An omniscient friend, a constant reminder
That that which is longed for can be achieved
He is the doom that shadows the dawn
Badgering those of little fear
Stalking those who see no consequence
Gleeful in misery, an irate reminder
That failure lurks just out of sight
She is the heart that beats for your benefit
Seeing kindness in hate, and love in the dark
Teaching that passion, that love, is worth fighting for
A gifted illustrator, an artistic reminder
That emotions are beauty that cannot be bought
She is the space that dances between us
Twisting and turning through light and through dark
Churning a pathway into oblivion
A skilled seamstress, an elegant reminder
That the stitches of space will tear and break
She is the mind that sorts right from wrong
Showing neither bias nor favour to either side
Weighing the choices of both fools and kings
Born from deceit, a sightless reminder
That justice is blind and fears no man
She is the light that shines upon fortune
Manipulating the webs spun from luck
Stealing the wealth and the warmth of the worthy
A victorious warrior, an eight-eyed reminder
That she who fights and thieves succeeds
He is the void that obscures it's surroundings
Hiding secrets and lies that ought not be shared
Forging friends from metal, protecting, repairing
A brave blacksmith, a strong reminder
That the brain is a muscle that ought to be trained
He is the rage that destroys the bliss found in ignorance
Laughing his way through pain and distress
Beating with fists and with bows and with clubs
The mirthful messiah, a murderous reminder
That anger unhinges the calmest of men
He is the hope that is lost and abandoned
Forgotten by those who have no care to remember
Inprisioned in a maze of his guilt and desire
A prince below water, a regal reminder
That a broken heart motivates more than a whole man
She is the life that pulsates within us
Finding joy in the bleak nothing of death
Providing an after, securing a future
The child queen, an excited reminder
That power means nought in the hands of a tyrant
He is the blood that courses through their veins
Uniting them all through fear, anger, regret
Leading them despite differences of caste and opinion
The mutant creator, a solemn reminder
That even the design of our world is flawed
