Well, poems are indeed short, so I moved on to the next.
I think I should note that these poems will most definitely not go in canon order. They'll be a jumble, but I'll be sure to tell you at what part each one is. OH and some may be AU!
This one is about Darth Vader's redemption, through the eyes of Padmé. I figure that she'd be watching over him after her death, so this is her POV. She is encompassed in the Force, but she is lonely without Anakin. Of course. Enjoy "The Dark Machine of a Man"!

The Dark Machine of a Man
A twisted, broken man
A devious, dark machine
A battered, lonely soul,
But to all, he seemed so mean.
Cloaked in a shroud of black,
Concealed in mystery,
To most he was a monster,
With an unknown history.
But over time the darkness
Began to wash away,
And the seemingly eternal night
Started to turn to day.
And suddenly, he cast off the dark,
And revealed himself, though small,
A single action showed them that
He wasn't so bad after all.
And from the place I watched him,
My lonely, chilly den,
I saw him reborn, and all at once,
I could breathe again.
A.N.: Gotts ta luv the Darth! XD
