The Red Beast
Robes of Red, a flash of silver
Quiet as thought, swifter than the wind,
A deadly monster, a plague on Man,
An abomination, a lonely desperation.
Alone have I stood, these long years
Away have I fled at the whisper of sound.
Lured into trust, a desperate attempt-
But an unworthy Hanyou is oft betrayed;
Encroaching darkness embraced in despair –
A final exhale, and my home is now my prison.
Decades pass by unnoticed, and uncaring.
The Red Beast is now trapped in the Goshinboku,
Forever doomed to eternal sleep.
Destiny took a hand, played a new song,
From the ashes of betrayal, a new Love arose-
Born from my love's dying desire
An oath to keep and faith to renew.
A wrinkle in time made her appear
My savior and my doom.
My blue-eyed angel did not see the monster,
Only a lonely soul, a wounded puppy.
In her have I my true Home,
With her shall I never be parted,
For her, shall I be worthy again.
Her protector and her lover,
Until the sands of time revolve for us no more.
