The Vinculum

Kasuto is now 30 years old. In recognition of this fact, I encourage all of you to give me $30. Anyone? Well, it was worth a shot. At least now I can resonably complain about "kids these days."

What better way to kick off a shiny new forum than by me posting a shiny new poem? I don't know either.

Ooh! As a fringe benefit, this one is actually good. Crazy, I know, but then again, there's a first time for everything.

Brace yourself, I call this one "Dark Warrior" and it's for the site.

------

Dark Warrior

I am a phantom, decades hence
Created by my lord,
With eyes of red and heart of steel
And dark and shining sword.

No mortal man am I, who was
Created just to kill.
I know not freedom, nor know love
Nor even choice or will.

My existence is forever tied
To him whom I most hate:
His death is my salvation,
His life, alas, my fate.

There is none in this mortal coil
Can best me with a blade,
Save the one I hate the most,
For whose death I was made.

I hate them all, my lord, my self,
Each man, each beast, each ghost;
I'd save them all if it would kill
The one I hate the most.

Am I, Dark Warrior, destinéd
Forever slave to be?
Until I kill the one
Whose death will set me free?
His death or my enslavement:
Far better him than me.

------

Yeah. I was camping the other weekend, and this thing just sort of came to me, so I wrote it down, and I just now found it.

Wow, I liked it. I mean, you feel sorry for the phantoms after reading that.

Well, actually, it was written as though from the viewpoint of Dark Link. I probably should have specified that somewhere.

Well, I can see where your confusion is coming from. After all, it's not like I gave any big hints or anything.

Nicely written poem there. I fixed a few things I assumed to be typos, hope you don't mind.

Absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, it reminded me of some rather disturbing Link/Dark Link yaoi I stumbled onto once. *shudder* Excuse me, I don't want to be sick all over the keyboard!

"Ah!" lamented the disciple. "For all its beauty, this tree only fills me with sorrow; for it reminds me that in time, all things shall be but dust in the wind!"
The Master struck him with his staff. "A beautiful moment has just passed, and you were so busy talking that you missed it."

Faith is a blue bird you see from afar. It's as real and as sure as the first evening star. You can't touch it or buy it or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same making things turn out right.
