Disclaimer: I do not own the character this poem is based on. It would be pretty damn awesome if I did though but alas.
Author's note: Poem from Voldemort's point of view as he is on his way to murder the Potter family.
Darkness, death and destruction,
Slithered along the deepest pits of my soul,
Coursed through my blackened veins
Igniting my desires.
Tonight I hunt.
I hunt for the kill.
I hunt for power,
for eternal life.
Omnipotence is mine.
Pursuing night's flighty temptress
Her keen eye cracked and broken.
I was nothing more than a shadow
amongst the darkness... Pursuing fate.
Tonight I hunt.
I hunt for the kill.
I hunt for power,
for eternal life.
Omnipotence is mine.
'Lily, take Harry and go! It s him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-'
Laughter. High and shrill. Fool.
Green light erupted in the cramped hall.
The strings were cut. The marionette fell.
Tonight I hunt.
I hunt for the kill.
I hunt for power,
for eternal life.
Omnipotence is mine.
Her screams echoed up above. Trapped.
She had nothing to fear. Just the boy.
'Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!'
A flash of green and she too fell.
Tonight I-
Broken.
The world backfired.
Pain and terror. I am nothing
And he is everything.
For now
