AN: This is a poem about Ansem...it is something a little different but I'll
still try to come up with some new free verse ideas soon, though I had some
writers block on this poem. Thanks for reviewing and don't forget to tell
me some of your fave poems!

Disclaimer: Yeah...I don't own Kingdom Hearts...so what?

Ansem's Story

That longing within me did not subside

It only grew deeper no matter what I tried

I felt a sensation run through all my veins

To seek out more knowledge, wisdom I'd gain

So I began experimenting, and my work was tough

But with researching I couldn't get enough

I learned that some darkness was in the heart of everyone

And that by removing one's heart their life wasn't done

Rather, they transformed into a creature of darkness

It was then that I marked them and called them Heartless

I studied these monsters day after day

And became consumed in my work in every way

The Heartless sought out peoples' hearts, but wanted more

That was when they led me to Hollow Bastion's core

-It's heart- that was their true destination

I still wanted to learn more and had much contemplation

The differences between the light and dark I tried to sort

So I put all of my information into a report

But the pages became separated, somehow scattered

Yet at the time, to me, none of that had mattered

For I took the next step, and tried something new

I plunged into darkness to see if it all was true

But I didn't become a creature, just a wandering soul

Why this had happened, I didn't know

I searched for a body- something to take over

And I met Riku, using his weakness to my favor

I had a body to control and all was fine, so it seemed

But then that Keyblade Master ruined all my schemes

He defeated me once, then over and over again

Yet I knew that this would not be the end

After the light from Kingdom Hearts forced me to go

I knew I still had to fulfill my plans even though

Sora was still alive, I knew I'd face him once more

I'll be ready, and we'll see what the future has in store.
