Words not mine,

I cannot claim

This poem of mine,

Will bring no fame.

A/N: This Poem came to me whilst I was dozing. So forgive me if its a little lame.


Familiar Faces

As I stand on the brink

Of incomprehensible danger

I look beside me

And I see familiar faces.

Our eyes meet

We are friends

Companions

And fellow travelers.

They stand by my side and give me strength

When all hope is lost..


I have learnt from them

Cried on their shoulders

And they have always been there

But now I am alone

Though beside me they still stand

They cannot help me

This is my battle

My fate

My destiny.


Green meets red

Light meets dark

Our eyes blaze like fires

So different

Yet so similar

We are as one

With powers unequalled,

Only by each other.

One is the essence of evil

Yet the other has powers the other knows not...


It begins

Like flurried dancing

We fight...


I can barely stand

My legs are quaking

I feel faint

His eyes are boring into me

Mocking me.

I stand up straight

I am no coward

I feel it rising within me.

The hate

The love

The pain

The tears for all of those I have lost

Those who have fallen beside me

While I stand strong

Those who have died to bring me here

To this fight.


I call out His name

I do not fear it

My heart explodes as I give the final blow

Flames of green

Like emeralds

It burns

Its kills

It destroys

He is gone.

Forever.


Tears unbidden fall down my cheeks

My knees finally give way

I am falling

Falling

Falling

Suddenly I stop

To weak to move, I let them take me

Take me away from this place where evil rules

I find the strength to raise my head

I look beside me

I see familiar faces.

The faces of my friends

I smile, and they smile back

I am safe

We are safe.


The war is over

Our lives are rebuilt

And forever beside me;

Forever and a day,

I see familiar faces

The faces of friends…
