Written from Halley's perspective, referring to Yuri in Amon form, and Alice.
The title is homage to one of the hidden dungeons…so you'll be able to guess just how obsessed I was with the first game.
Controller of the Rainbow
Owner of my love undying
Wet silk and steel against the wall
Drown in eyes condemned to crying
Forever, now and not at all
As above, so mote below me
In listless flight you dance and burn
All claws and wings, the sanguine gentry
Enshrined and never to return
I gave my soul in awe and wonder
That broken angels might believe
A love to rend my heart asunder
And lustre only to bereave
I would but ask that you remember
Drunk on blood and venial dreaming
Our sunlit lust, our sweet September
Clinical and contravening
Is there an end to my perdition
To my wasteland, soft and deep
An Eden built of your contrition
You'll see it every time you sleep
Alice, martyr to his apathy
Your rapture mute and made untrue
I lie ecstatic and unworthy
Unloved, because I am not you
FIN
"I took a Virgin Mary axe to his sweet Baby Jane,
Lost my innocence to a no good girl
Scratch my face with anvil hands
And coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
And I give it all back to you."
- The Smashing Pumpkins, "An Ode to No One"
Sorry about the justification.I have no idea why, but some poems I submit seem to lose all sense of stanza. I structured this in four-line verses, as regimental as ever, and it wound up as one long list, so I had to bugger about with it.Hell's bells and buckets of blood.
