Well, here's my next chapter of poems, random and thought-provoking. Hope you enjoy the requests fulfilled!
(This one is Sheik's perspective. Yes, Sheik is Zelda.)
Running in the Night
I'm running in the night, heading for the light,
I must meet him there; the wind whips my hair,
My help is my harp, my needles are sharp,
If I play a song, he must play along,
He knows me so well, in his memory I dwell,
The seven years passed, if only it would last,
I'm running you see, he'll never know me.
(This one is Impa thinking about her life)
Guardian
Guardian they tell me, a guardian I am,
Guardian to Zelda, the innocent little lamb,
Guardian against the evil, when it fights against the good,
Guardian of shadow, thought I'm not sure I would,
Guardian with strength, but a quiet voice to hear,
Guardian to her, I will always be near,
Guardian of safety, never leaving anymore,
Guardian against the man, who represents war,
Guardian and sage, in the village I stayed,
Zelda will never know the price her Guardian prayed.
(This is Link's thoughts years after the Hyrule world saving)
I used to be a Hero
I used to be a hero, and everybody knew,
Now when I mention myself, all I hear is "Who?"
I once was a champion, and saved the world of men,
Yet now my name's forgotten, over and over again,
I used to be a wonder, saving the sages too,
Now I am nothing, I don't know what to do,
I once was a miracle, a sign from up above,
Yet now I can't find a single person to love,
I used to have praise, and thank you's galore,
Now I have nothing, no glory in store,
I once had it all, fame and looks as well,
Yet now my position has just seemed to quell,
I used to be a hero, that's what I say,
Now my memory has just faded away.
(This is Link's mother as she left him)
Remember Me
My one and only evermore, never forget my face,
My heart even now won't stop, it continues to race,
I must leave you, but know you are never alone,
I will be there with you, never angry in my tone,
Please do not forget my love, keep it in your mind,
Please remember, just think of me and you will find,
I am always with you; even in you cannot see,
Link, my baby boy, please remember me.
(A request, on Tetra's view of Link)
Sea Flower
In a time long ago, before the birth of you or I,
The world was vast; the earth even seemed to touch the sky,
The ocean was full of ships that sailed upon the breeze,
But there was one type of ship, that sent terror through the seas,
A pirate ship, the horror of all,
To a merchant ship, would be its fall,
One pirate, above all, killed without a thought,
The cruelest of any, more often than not,
With flowing blonde hair, and sparkling blue eyes,
Born with no pity, keeping on towards the prize,
Tetra, she was called, though only by a few,
If you were to say her name, she'd run you though,
No weaknesses, no flaws, no problems at all,
Until one plundering, she met with her fall,
A boy, young and fair, came into her life,
A single boy, called Link, caused her heart strife,
She could never let her feelings show,
She would just never let him know,
Just a wink and a nod, was all he would get,
She would never tell him, never reveal it,
Yet she would do everything in her power,
To protect her love, this delicate sea flower.
(This is a request on Ganon, a comedy)
My Plans Never Work
I created a phantom, to stop this boy,
But he defeated it, as if it were a toy,
I revived a dragon, brought up from hell's pits,
But he found this hammer, and smashed it to bits,
I brought water to life, as he started to swim,
But that sure didn't work; he brought it over to him,
I tried a drumming monster, that he couldn't see,
But he found a lens of truth, and figured out the key,
I finally tried the witches, but like a ball and a bat,
He absorbed their attack; there goes my insurance on that,
I tried mini-bosses, but he won through it all,
So I decided it was my duty to take up the call,
I finally faced him, with no one else but me,
That's why I'm waiting here, longing to be free,
I wait in the sacred realm, in here I lurk,
I have but one complaint, my plans never work!
(Here's my other request, for the Red Lion)
I am a Boat
I'm a boat, able to sail upon the seven seas,
I am a boat, using my sail that fans in the breeze,
My young friend, who I help, this boy named Link,
If it were left up to him, I'm afraid I would sink,
I talk, although I must admit to be a ship,
Link sails me day and night, and on every trip,
He doesn't know that I'm a king, and he should treat me right,
I will help him free my daughter; I will help him win the fight,
He thinks very little, and sometimes not at all,
I am there to guide him, and help him not to fall,
Yet I must admit, I am tired to fake,
I'll wait until Zelda, my daughter will awake.
Some of these were really hard. Oh well. If you want any more, I'm open to suggestions. Until then, later friends!
