Lūcifer

[Light-bringing, morning star]

[Another name for Satan]

A night of void it was here

The ghouls sobbing in my ears ;

In my mind and into theirs

Dripping bloody tears ;

Yet there I stood alone

Unseeing with frosty fear

¶

Trembling gravely with fright

I closed my eyes shut tight ;

Then with a flash, gone they were

A soft avian fluttering, I heard,

There it was, the light ;

For away was the terror,

And came to me, the wonder

¶

“Who is there?”

Shakily, I called, stark in the silence ;

No answer could I hear,

Yet I knew that you were there ;

Gone was the darkness,

And there it was, the light

¶

It was so bright yet hollow

Giving warns to the shallow

Yet so bright was thee

And thee came down to me

There it was, the light!

¶

Leaves fell and grew

Souls came and went -

But now, how careless I am!

With you there by my side,

I take the fears into my stride ;

Ah, call me arrogant, rich and full

For the least I am surpasses you;

There you are, the light!

¶

But one day, you weren’t there

To shield me from the fears ;

And the void was back yet again,

For my belief faded back away

Where are you, the light?

When you arrived in hurry,

Shaking coldly with fury

Worshipped you, I did!

I stared into your azure orbs,

Bottomless as the purest soul ;

In there, as elusive as a snake, there was -

Aha, in your tear-filled eyes, I saw!

¶

Perhaps, I have no will over yours

But I am sane enough to know ;

Thou art fair, beloved ; but alas, I must wonder,

What is it that you hide so much, I must ponder ;

Your leave I must stop, your frown I must see

But, I am sane enough to wonder,

What do you hide so much?

¶

Next night, the void returned

And I shrieked, that you were there!

Did not stop it from coming, it didn’t,

But your eyes widened, fear ridden ;

Moved forward, you did

Screamed fiercely, you did ;

Alas, that night, firmly cocooned by your light

I might have wondered, blinded by your warmth,

For I am sane enough to ponder ;

What makes you quake so much?

¶

As I spent the days with you,

The void was always there in me;

So one day, I cried at you

To make them go for good

The hesitance you showed, was just enough ;

For me to push you over, was just a huff,

For then you fell down instead

Where are you, my light?

¶

When you came next, I gasped and cried

For your light did not shine so bright

All it took, a question it was ;

To know that you were not a light

¶

Then I knew what I must do,

To keep the light to chase the fears ;

But a chaste last kiss was all it took

For my decision to shake in grief

¶

Still bright, you were

But longing, I was ; to see it dim

After all, they are a perfect pair ;

Light and darkness, cold and warmth,

death and love, love and death

¶

My mind firmly set

To make my wish come true ;

The light, to chase the void away,

Would now shine in me ;

And your light will slowly dim

But you will stay by me

¶

As I held it in my hands,

A white blade, sharp and good ;

No turning back, there was - and I knew -

The void was on the blade

And welled inside me, the disgust ;

Before I threw it off,

Hardened myself with love, I did!

¶

Still bright, you were, when I found you;

And beamed - yes - when you saw me.

I could see the fear in your eyes ;

Silently, I asked you the reason why.

As I slowly stepped closer to you,

In your tear-filled azure eyes - I saw!

¶

Dropped the blade, I did ;

But the horrible tears were still there -

Flooding me with guilt and horror

That could not be contained ;

¶

The light flickered bright and dim

And I fought to keep it - I swear!

Yet there you were, a smile on your face ;

And laughed, you did, while shaking like a leaf!

¶

Your light was bright,

And there you were, the light!

Came to me, it did - the void,

The ghouls sobbing in my ears

In my mind and into theirs

Dripping bloody tears ;

¶

I stood there, with the light

Dripping bloody tears ;

And pushed you over, oh, I did-!

With just a tiny huff!

¶

When you fell, the light came to me ;

It was so bright yet hollow

Giving warns to the shallow

And I finally knew what it was ;

¶

It was love, the purest of all ; yet tainted by the void ;

You fell over, but you are here, I know -

Cradled in my hands was the light, I know -

And when you smiled at me, shaking like a leaf ;

Now I know what it meant, I do - I know!

¶

But alas, I must wonder,

Though the light is now in me ;

What is it that you hide so much, I must ponder ;

What did you know so much?
