This is actually one of my favorite poems. Perhaps it's because I have the amazing parentheses. It also might be because I had fun doing it. Either way, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did writing it!
Disclaimer: I own squat. Well, I do own tons of books, but the little voices in my head refuse to stop there.
[O Light!]
A knight clad in black
Forever chasing an orb of light
Searching for something forgotten
But vital
(What is it? Who are they? Tell me!)
Throwing himself at the odds
Fighting viscously
He defies the orb which stole his memories
Of her, of him, of them
(But who could they be?)
And his never-ending journey
To reclaim what is lost
Ends at the end of a spear
For a misinterpreted statement
Leads to his end
At the hands
Of the little one he was trying so hard to remember
And as he lays dying
His memories return
(Forgive me…)
And he curses the light who stole everything
(Raem!)
And begs forgiveness to his wife and son
As he turns towards the gate to the realms of the unknown
(It it heaven? Hell? Will I ever see you again?)
O Light!
