Al Khem: The Castle
Warning: Lovecraft-inspired emo-poetry.
To the disinterested, I must add a "go fuck yourself," for it is my sacred duty. When I took my first oath, four years ago, I lost the most important thing in my world. When I took another oath, two weeks ago, it suddenly started to come back to me. I don't know if it will, or if this is just a terrible tease. Regardless, here are my feelings on the matter.
DES ARAE
distant fixures in the night
wish I may with all my might
and my heart begins to sing
with joy at what the stars can bring
distant promise in the dark
wish I may with all my heart
all my heart by serpent bound
swiftly surging all around
sacred secret hidden love
precious as the stars above
splendid glory shining bright
wish I may with all my might
waiting here so patiently
distant fixures watching me
they revolve and I return
again until my blood will burn
in starlight that will sweetly bless
this enervating emptiness
into a mirror with no face
waiting patiently in place
empty now and empty still
waiting for my love to fill
passion, pain, then going numb
waiting for my love to come
losing hope but can’t forget
no life, no love, but some regret
by the stars I am betrayed
empty mirror gone to stay
wish I may with all my might
how I pray for serpent’s bite
how I long for break of day
wishing all my life away
how I long for hope to dawn
for this feeling to be gone
how I long to feel her kiss
for anything but emptiness
