Romanticide: I
This ballad of love, and of light versus dark,
Commences with Pegasus, so let us begin his arc:
A radiant love blossoming from her golden heart,
Bound him to her, spawned his passion for art.
Yet cruel fate would not just let this be
And so stole her from him, plunged him into misery.
For days and nights he would just sit and paint,
To forget his sorrows, wash them away with rain.
Until fate once again lent in his double-faced hand,
And whisked him away to a foreign land.
Into dubious shadows he rambled and roamed,
Heart broken and tender, and chipped like stone.
His fascination with Egypt simply grew and grew
Until he devoured every knowledge and sought out the new.
To the deepest and darkest of tombs he traversed,
Not scared in the slightest of a fabled mummy's curse.
And there he was met by a strange young man,
Who claimed he was a guardian of the ancient land.
Still fascinated, our hero could not just let this rest,
And demanded of Shadi to test out a test.
To see if he was worthy of the Millennium Eye,
The artefact's power, to see through every lie.
And to revive all those passions he thought he'd lost,
Long since buried, raised at a bitter cost.
Heart set, aflame with mortal passion and fire,
He set out the test to achieve his greatest desire.
The Eye was his, and thus a saga was born,
A journey of darkness, where awaits the morn.
What do you think? I haven't decided how many parts to this poem there will be yet- hopefully I'll have started writing the next one whilst you're reading this!
