Requiem For Rico



A wave of light washes us all.
Stolen from me, those dearest.
I run through the fields, all is silent.
Trees hide the secret, the sins of the past.
They cannot speak.

A roar from below, flames from above.
I draw my sword, my fight begun.
Nature's hand tuns against me.
Abominations by some dark deed, twisted by chaos.
Surrendered to the river, carry me away.
Deep into the womb of the earth.
Far away from home.

The plans of men laid bare.
Their greed takes new forms, wrought of steel.
The sleepless army awakens.
I am their enemy.
The servant becomes the master.

The folly of men contained no longer.
It spills into the light, it turns the mind.
Monster children of the nightmare god.
Death cannot hold it back, I must try.
On my heart, the setting sun.
I lay down my sword, my fight is done.

Full of meaning and deepness.

Esay to follow, and I can tell where everything's going (so I like it).

The flow is disrupted pretty often (to me at least), but that doesn't detract from it at all.

Whoa... Amazing. I'd never be able to think of something like that.

Yeah, the flow thing.... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif
Well, I wrote it in bits because some sections were easier than others. Technically its a really stilted poem, but "Poem of Rico" doesn't have the same ring.

I'm glad you and storm like it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Hey, that's pretty good. I didn't know you wrote poetry/songs too!

About the name thing, how about 'Rico's Requiem'?

Of course Garanz is right about the title. Amended accordingly.

Wow! My first award! I feel so warm and fuzzy inside...
My urge to kill Solstis has diminished slightly.

[Hikara]

only slightly?

I'll give you an award, as well. I much enjoyed it!

Two awards! AH HA HA HA! How I LOVE to count!

Poems are more WraithVerge/Sarunakai's thing. i only do them my my brain insists upon it. Plus it you're writing the talent show, shouldn't YOU write the poem and attribute it to me? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

But if you think I can do it, PM me with suggested topics and I'll see what my brain cooks up.
