Ngora, Star of the Void

[Kuraikiba]

As the madness pools around me

I felt in the ash I was blind

My voice has been by time

My mind, razed now by wind

 

I feel upon my tattered clothes

A crimson tourniquet flowing forth

Upon my gaunt fingers

An auburn flame grows bright

 

It took everything away from me

The joka of my antipathy

And my loveless heart

I fell through the lands of death, pain, and fire over and over again

 

I feel so alone, everything left me

I have never felt anything of peace

I went, and never came back

 

All the torture of my soul

Evisceration of my heart

My eyes blackened pearls

My lips that of ice

 

I was tortured by puerile games of fate

And I feel in my soul that it is too late

I breathe in the vernal meadow air

But, for my heart, it tastes like my black ashen blood

The stars of the heavens seem like dim fading lights

As I pass away inside, I only feel comets passing through my mind

 

So long as these bones endure, I will fight through the hate

Though I wade through nightmares and blood

I do so to see your face

 

Beautiful like crystal, and resonating through my mind

Your voice, like a gentle, forgiving wind along the shattered panes of my life

Is the only reason I still fight

Your eyes azure rivers, see right through my soul

I may not be a face you could ever know

But I'll fight these demons, these dragons, and the lies

To see you hair of twilit red and your skin fair like freshly laden snow

 

Though my darkness kills me, and I'm naught but rags

I'd fight through all Hell to see you tonight

I know that even though you stand in an ivory wind

Of an icy tower, from your balcony a tempest of meteors

Your eyes light up the night sky, my beacon until I die

Though I might never have you, to see your face is all I need

To get by and survive, through this hateful night

In a land of death and ice, to a shooting star I hold tight

 

In a valley wide, a world forsaken, nothing left of what has been shaken

A life like mine saw no world but this

I breathe Ngora, mystic star of this sapphire and amethyst sky

Tattered ashes and violent screams, the shattered panes of reality

I can't feel anything in this broken shard of this Hell I call a home

Yet I've been awake and dead for a thousand years

In this life of suffering, licking thorns and spitting dreams

In front of my eyes all I see are a million gray ribbons of abyssal sands

I'm rid of everything

 

A hopeless heart in a moonlit sky

A million shards of glass and light will pass me by

Waters of life, my tourniquet

That which ease my torment

I cling to a fallen hope and pray I live through this night

To live to see you by my side

Thanks for the nice reviews, guys.

 

The poem is all about a man with a broken life, who has been struggling as long as he can remember to keep himself together.

It is also to a beautiful woman named Ngora, who the man loves with every fiber of his soul. He feels his life is complete just to be able to see her

and wishes above all things that some day, she may share the same feelings with him. He says that the thought of them together is the lone reason he

fights in life, despite all the ruination he receives.
