He sits upon his throne
Comprised of his conquests
Their bones and swords
Made this throne
As he sat within the shadows
From where he
Silently viewed her
Each time
He saw that
Her heart broke
He would grip
The arm of his throne
Until the blood flowed
Their story continues©
She was a maiden of light
Sheltered by a prison
Known only pain from
The world she’d been born into
Her reflection cried
For the dream
She desired most
Learning to accept
Her fate she lived
Each day alone
Clinging to the light
Which shown from
Deep inside
Their story continues©
Now, this king
Was comfortable
Living from within
The shadows
From where he could
Carry out his vengeance
Upon his enemies
The shadows gave him
The desired cover he needed
To do the work
His life had become
Or so he had thought
And their story continues©
His days were
Planning and executing
The vengeance
Upon thoes enemies
His gaze was fixed
And the thrust of
His sword swift
With showing no mercy
Until one day
He noticed a
Small pulsating light
Which broke the
Darkness of his
Comfortable shadow
And their story continues©
He tried to ignore it
But as his days went on
It became brighter
Until he could no longer
Deny it’s existence
He needed to find it’s source
To extinguish its light
For it broke the shadows
In which he lived
Unbenonced to him
This would change him
And their story continues©
Now, as he searched
This maiden of light
Worked tirelessly
To do what was
Expected of her
Her wings clipped
By men of this world
Who showed her no quarter
The beasts tried to chain
And cage her
But her light came from
Where her dreams resided
And their story continues©
They blindfolded her
To try and control her light
Shackled her hands and feet
Placing demands on her
That imprisoned her Soul
She continued to obey
For she knew no better
But her pulsating light
That she tried to hide
Would be what
Would rescue her
And their story continues©
As the king stepped
Out of the shadows
Things he thought
Were familar
Became foreign to him
He ended up
Lost within this world
He had left behind
The only guide
He had before him
Was the moonlight
Illuminating this light
He knew he had to find it
And their story continues©
Day and night
He searched
Until he came upon a clearing
There he stood
Witnessing a
Grueling sight
There this maiden of light
Being whipped
With each strike
Her flesh being cut
Exposing her light
Each drop of her blood
Screams he’d never heard
And their story continues©
As he stood
Watching hidden
Thinking he could ignore it
Her screams permeated
His soul
He didn’t know why
He was so compelled
But he had to stop
This injustice
That was before him
As he looked up
The corners of his mouth
Grinned with pleasure
And their story continues©
He drew his swords
With strength
Of a thousand men
He cut these beasts
One by one they fell
Until none were
Left standing
Then he focused on her
He grabbed a covering
And wrapped it around her
As he did, that light
he’d been following
Disappeared
And their story continues©
As he picked her up
He saw and felt
Her light dwindling
The heart inside him
Which had been broken
And felt so much vengeance
Now ached for this light
He felt such pain inside
This king of shadows
Was turning human
And all he wanted
Was this light
And their story continues©
He knew he had to save her
As he carried her
Back to his kingdom
Of shadows
He couldn’t understand
Why she was as light
As a feather
He tended to her wounds
Which were deep
She still had not yet
Opened her eyes
Her light still had not shined
And their story continues©
One day she opened her eyes
He was taken back
By her eyes
For they were nothing
Like he’d even seen
He thought he could
See into them
Deep into her Soul
As she surveyed
Her surroundings
He asked her name
But no sound came
As she opened her lips
And their story continues©
Over the course
Of the following year
They spent their every waking moment together it seemed
His vengeance was of
Little importance to him
As he saw life from new eyes
They grew to Love deeply
Both mending their hearts
They both wanted no one else
And their story continues©
They spent time
Upon the sea
Their smiles gently returning
He protected her
He became her
Ultimate Heart
Her dream
They were never apart
As time passed
They fell in Love
With each others souls
It seemed like nothing
Could separate them
And their story continues©
He was gentle with her
Knowing he couldn’t let go
As their chemistry
Between them heated their souls
To assure his never
Ending promises to her
That he wouldn’t let go
He placed a ring
Upon her finger
Time stood still
For a single moment
And their story continues©
But,as all kingdoms go
An empty throne
Does not a kingdom make
So he pondered what to do
The decision he must make
The tears he shed were real
So he sent her away from him
Far across the bearing sea
He thought he’d protect her
This was the only way
And their story continues©
She was lost
In this new world
Tears flooded her face
She knew not why
Or what she did
Her whole soul grieved
Taking her joy away
She begged and pleaded
To no avail
Once again she was left
On her own
To fight the beasts
Of this world
Or so she thought
And their story continues©
She realizes now
Every move she’s made
He’s been watching her
From the shadows
Watching as her Heart
Broke and grieved
As she begged for him
Without a word to
Comfort her
Did he still love her
She asked
He in the shadows
Of course he needed her light
Their story continues©
So he took his throne
Thinking as he did
That he’d protected her
From his enemies
Now he carefully watches
From the shadows
Without her knowing
But he did not know
When a person gets touched
By a pure heart
That it’ll leave a hole
Once where it stood
And their story continues©
Now, this story has
Come full circle
Back to its start
Two hearts
Separated by a world
Of hate
One by choice
One by not
Most stories are fiction
Not reality based
But I’m here to tell you
This is truthfully said
The king of shadows
And his pure heart
Can their story continue?©
The End… or is it?
