Stories and Legends

Requiem

Requiem

Mar 02, 2019

The night is long, new daylight far

and up above gold ash of kin

still falling down, reminding me

I have just one more song to sing.


My throat so sore, a whisper hurts

yet whispers failed, a breeze in time

the war requires a deafening roar

and soldiers usually fall in line.


A song, a roar, a truth is all

To end the hate, prevent a reign

of one who values what is right

with purest heart, yet quite insane.


To save Avyaal, to save myself

a choice, no choice, grows heavier

this truth will end the war and yet

it also kills the messenger.


A loving soul, a shadow-soul

an echo throughout time I've been

a ghost, that fades before the light

unwilling to still cling to night.

To finally rest, to finally win

there's one more song I have to sing.

An insight of Mordra's thougths - a character from a story I refer to as "Techra" (a working title). I'll post these poems/stories with thumbs representing the story they are from - and I'm hoping you don't mind that there is so little information on them (yet).

I've been postponing uploading poetry, because I was hoping to add illustrations and have some comic-series actively going, but I realised, I'll never find enough time for that. It's even taking forever to get any of my stories done (White Roses has been on hold for quite a while *cough*). So I decided to just post them without illustrations.

Anyways, I hope you can enjoy my stuff regardless! :)

I've definitely enjoyed this poem online, Isi! <3 Maybe you can update it, if you have a fitting illustration one day? I mean, I can thoroughly enjoy it, because I know some bits of Techra, without them it would be difficult for me to get an access to Mordra's thoughts.
