~Poem~ ^_^
In the edge of darkness, obscured from sight;
Calm and cool, the approach of twilight.
He bares not, his sword in vain;
Securely sheathed, he does refrain.
Ever searching, are his eyes;
Incessantly wary, beneath their guise.
Those before him, live unaware;
A numb existence, absent of care.
The quiet shadows slightly comfort;
Offering friendship, of a lonely sort.
A silent sigh escapes his core;
The faintest breath, his no more.
The shoreward breeze, brings him pause;
What’s his commitment to this cause?
A distant sound, gives birth to cries;
Jagged and piercing, announcing demise.
Precisely drawn, with a metallic ring;
Blade now free, it briefly sings.
Vision limited, mind entranced;
Muted footsteps, signal advance.
A flick of the wrist, a deadly slice;
The soiled blade, cold as ice.
Calm and cool, the approach of twilight.
He bares not, his sword in vain;
Securely sheathed, he does refrain.
Ever searching, are his eyes;
Incessantly wary, beneath their guise.
Those before him, live unaware;
A numb existence, absent of care.
The quiet shadows slightly comfort;
Offering friendship, of a lonely sort.
A silent sigh escapes his core;
The faintest breath, his no more.
The shoreward breeze, brings him pause;
What’s his commitment to this cause?
A distant sound, gives birth to cries;
Jagged and piercing, announcing demise.
Precisely drawn, with a metallic ring;
Blade now free, it briefly sings.
Vision limited, mind entranced;
Muted footsteps, signal advance.
A flick of the wrist, a deadly slice;
The soiled blade, cold as ice.
