You have just ventured unto my second poem. Congratulations. Anyways, this poem is…well…self explanatory. It is basically the summary of the whole Chrono Crusade series through the eyes of one of the characters. Guess who it is….
A Life of a Sinner
Darkness.
The coming of a being in a world long condemned by God,
Becoming something that has branded his kind by the other existences as evil,
To us humans, the thought of freedom and choice is within our grasp and we take it,
To him, however, there is only direction and order.
Darkness, white.
Being an outcast to his fellow race,
However respected and feared by them,
One however sees his true self,
And thus a friendship begins.
Darkness, white, head.
However that friendship is put to the test,
A test that will brand him as a criminal in his own world,
He seeks freedom, he seeks peace,
So he does the will of his friend and disrespects the thing that is scared to his people.
Darkness, white, head, blood.
In order to protect the scared object,
They attack him and he becomes angry with them,
Why are they attacking him? He only wants peace.
Finding no peaceful resolution, he fights them off.
He kills and the number of kills is that of a hundred million.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman.
He runs with a group of others, far away from the people that tries to kill them,
Months, years pass and his friends orders the capture of a woman,
He does this and they feel compassion at first,
He maintains a relationship with her…one that is riddled in love.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns.
His friend soon has no use for the woman so he orders him to kill her,
He disobeys, he is angered,
They fight, he loses,
His power is then taken away.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch.
Before one of his former friends created something in order to maintain energy,
However it requires a human to use,
In time, the human will die,
However, the woman who loved him, gracefully accepts
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb.
She died. There her tomb laid in the forest,
He stood there, idly by guarding it,
She had no better, she had no equal,
That was the truth, until they came.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini
Two children opened the tomb,
One male, one female,
They introduce themselves, he does the same,
They become the best of friends
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket
They spend each day with each other,
Learning, playing laughing,
He couldn't stop them, he was living his dream
He was at peace…for now.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle
The boy falls ill, he was always ill,
Now he was going away,
The girl is saddened and she goes to him for remorse,
It was only a matter of time when an old friend came a knocking
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua
The eagle, who is his former friend, offers to be his friend again, he flatly refuses,
His former friend offers him his powers again, he flatly refuses,
His former friend tells them that he offered his powers to the boy, who graciously accepts
They make haste to his position and what they find is not pleasant, not pleasant at all
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract
They arrive, but they are too late,
The others are dead, or so it seems,
The boy is gone and he couldn't do anything,
Without his power, he is nothing,
So the girl, gracefully offers her energy
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time
Time is a luxury that some cannot afford,
For the girl, she is limited,
For him, he waste no time to search for the boy,
They search long and hard,
They meet friends and some going to the same goal
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria
They soon meet a little girl, a singer,
Her voice is the envy of all,
She is one of God's little ones,
After events, she becomes friends with them.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella
They meet a strange woman, she has an accent,
She looks for something that is special to her,
She uses a jewel as a weapon,
Once rivals now becomes friends.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer
After a while, they travel to a place far away,
A few days later there was a knock at the door,
At the door, there was someone sent by the people to get him,
However he offers his allegiance to him
They are after the same goal.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata
While this transpires, she receives her marks,
The marks pains her, as it pained Jesus,
However it was for the good of all, for the good of the boy,
So she kept her tears and her pain silent
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata, set-up
The little girl brings them to a place,
A place of fun and relaxing,
They feel at peace, they feel at home,
This, however, was short-lived
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, set-up, Stigmata, homecoming
The boy returns, the girl shocked,
The boy doesn't remember her, his former friend is with him,
She tries to kill the girl, the boy tries to kill the girl,
And thus the series of events began
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata, set-up, homecoming, atonement
He is down, shot by the boy,
She goes to him, the apostles gather,
A sphere descends, she goes and destroys it,
A pillar of light, she is stripped, battered and defenceless.
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata, set-up, homecoming, atonement, saint
A few days after, she and his former friend are left,
It was all about her, all for her,
She gives up, there is nothing she could do,
She could only do and obey
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata, set-up, homecoming, atonement, saint, Rosette
He finds his friend, he finds her,
He fights him, he his defeated,
She then tries to shoot, but then she stops,
She is back to her former self, his friend is defeated,
There is no more to do
Darkness, white, head, blood, woman, horns, watch, tomb, Gemini, picnic basket, eagle, Joshua, contract, time, Azmaria, Statella, pursuer, Stigmata, set-up, homecoming, atonement, saint, Rosette, death
And so as the end draws near, they live in seclusion,
They separate themselves from the others,
She is scared but then faces the music,
They hold hands and they finally die.
Wow, five pages. I guess you wouldn't call it a poem. Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed it. Please R&R and no flames. (Don't like em')
