It is my home,
This lovely Darkness.
"Utsukushii," he calls it,
And I agree.
Lightning a blaze in dark skies,
Thunder a song of this dead land.
Rough, unfinished walls,
Smooth, cold floors
Like marble.
Or ice.
Tall, dark spires,
Twisted formations
Warped by the Great Ruler.
An earth convoluted,
This is my eternal home.
Darkness.
I have been shaped for it.
Cunning, devious, backstabbing,
Cruel, selfish, secretive...
Evil.
I thrive.
What then is this to which I am drawn?
A tainted light in the Darkness?
White hair, silver eyes.
Commanding, imposing, dangerous;
Confident, rational, wise...
Distracting...and
Dare I say it?
...Loving...
It is him I live for,
Him I would die for,
For without him, home is mere deception.
Home is here,
And in Darkness, we live
An Eternity.
For those of you who noticed, yes, I did convert the title of Michiru/Sailorneptune's season S image song, "Unmei wa Utsukushiku", otherwise known as "Fate So Beautifully", to suit my needs. Or rather, my poem's needs. The subject matter's not relatedˇXI just thought the title fit.
And finally, no, the Dark Kingdom and its inhabitants do not belong to me, for those of you who might think otherwise.
