KINGDOM COME.A Poem by ErzaIn a kingdom, far and distant, lies the land of future and love, peace, passion, compassion and kindness, where many dreams tread upon the ground of hope and will, yet where plagues are near.IN THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, IN THE MOUTAINS MANTLED BLUE, LIES THE LAND THAT HOLDS TRUE WHERE THE LIFE OF 'WE' RUNS RAMPENT WITH GLEE IN THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, ON THE OCEAN COVERED WHITE, BEARS THE WEIGHT OF MILLIONS OF 'BRIGHTS' YET THE LIGHT SHINES ON GREATER LINES. IN THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, WHERE THE DREAMS OF EUPHIORA RUNS IN THE HANDS OF HOPE, MANY VOICES, STEPS, AND LAUGHS ARE SOAKED INTO THE GROUNDS OF WILL AND MILL. IN THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, ALL IS NOT LOST YET ALL ARE ASTRAY UPON THINE THRONE, SITUATED UPON THINE BROW SITS THE CROWN, OF THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, THE BEAR O THIS CROWN GOES ONE BY A MANY OF NAMES ALL FORGOTTEN, PRAISED, AND FEARED BUT IS KNOW AS ARKIN. ARKIN, RULER OF THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA THE MOUNTAINS MANTLED BLUE, THE OCEAN COVER WHITE, THE DREAMS HAPPINESS AND HOPE, RULES WITH A TYRANICAL VIEW, OF CYNICAL OF NIGHT OF FEAR AND OF MARES MANY THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THE LAND. DREAMS NOW COWAR IN FEAR OF NIGHTERRORS HOPE IS NOW THROWN INTO PITS BY DISPAIR LAND, TORCHED BY THE CONFALGERATIONS OF 'DARKS' TRUTH BEATEN, BRUISED, AND BROKEN BY LIES ...NOT HOLDS IN THIS LAND OF DISPAIR.... ...IT GRIPS YOU IN THE WORST OF TIMES... ...AND IN TIMES OF HOPE... ...and nothing seems to live among the bushes ...the trees ...the houses, empty with no light ...the kingdom, a void the transformation of HEART into VOID as is when one is smote with the tyrannical power of ARKIN. nothing escapes the pull, nor its darkness, even in the brightest of moments so is such when one is numbed to the world, numbed to the colors, numbed to the voices. ...where one only hears emptiness ...where one only feels emptiness ...where one only sees emptiness ...where one tastes emptiness ...where breathes emptiness ...where you... ...are only.... emptiness But upon the neighboring country, upon the hill, shines a new light.. a light of hope... of dreams... of love... This light, radiates with a new found weapon with a new found friend with a new courage with fire in its eyes and brimstone in hands. Upon this hill starts the new era of light with new strategy in tow, the light dives from its hill towards the kingdom by the sea AND WHEN IT REACHED THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA LIGHTS NEW AND OLD RETURNED TO THE HOUSES BIRDS SUNG THEIR SONGS IN TRESS BUSHES SHIVERED WITH SQUIRRELS AND RABBITS AND THE VOID DIMENISHED TO A MERE DOT... A DOT IN THE CASTLE WITH NIGHTTERRORS ERDIACTIDATED FROM THE CLOUDS OF DREAMS HOPE PULLED UP FROM THE TRENCHES AND DESPAIR BURRIED LAND REFORMED, WATERED, REPAIRED BY THE 'BRIGHTS' ONCE MORE TRUTH HEALED AND CURED WITH LIES THROWN INTO THE STOCKADES ONLY ONE THING REMAINS THE DETHRONE ARKIN AND THRONE THE HEART UPON THE FINAL STEPS TOWARDS THE BLACK HOLE THE LIGHT UTEERS ONLY ONE THING: "FIND, AND THRONE ASGRE, FOR I AM UNFIT, AND WILL NO LONGER BE PRESENT BY END OF BLACKNESS." THUS HE ENTERED THE GRAND DOORS, THE DOORS OF DEATH, TO THROW OF THE CROWN, AND THROW OUT THE VOID. A BATTLE, LONG, TIDIOUS, AND TIRESOME, RAGED ON FOR HOURS ON ENDS IN THIS ONE ROOM, WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN MINUTES IN SOME PLACES, OR DAYS OR YEARS IN OTHERS, HOWEVER LONG, MATTERS NOT, FOR BY THE END DARKNESS LEAKED OUT THE CREAVICES OF THE ROOM AND OUT THE WINDOWS, WITH LIGHT STANDING TALL AND VICTORIOUS. BEFORE THE LAST WISP OF SICKNESS LEFT, A SKY SPLITTING VOICE CACKLED, AND YELLED "YOU MAY HAVE DEAFEATED ME NOW, BUT AS ALWAYS, BY BOTH HISTORY AND LEGEND, I WILL RETURN FOR MY THRONE!" IN RESPONSE, THE LIGHT CALMLY SAID "AND SATED BY THE SAME PROPHOCY AND SHOWN BY THE SAME BOOKS, I WILL RETURN AS WELL, TO INSURE THE RIGHFUL OWNER IS THRONE ONCED MORE." WITH FINAL REMARKS SAID, LIGHT LEFT THE ROOM. AND SAID TO THE COMPANION, THE CHANCELLOR, "I HAVE SUCCEDED, AND NOW I TAKE MY LEAVE. I KNOW NOT WHEN I RETURN, BUT I KNOW I WILL SURLY DIE DUE TO WOUNDS MADE TODAY. SO FOR I NOW I BID GOODBYE, FARWELL, AND MAY THE STARS EVER WATCH YOU AND THIS LAND." THE LIGHT LEFT THE CASTLE AND WAS NEVER TO BE FOUND AFTER, DESPITE MUCH SEARCHES. ASGRE WAS THRONED AS ASKED BY THE LIGHT, AND THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA WAS ONCE MORE THE DREAMS THAT THE LIFE OF 'WE' CRAVE. AND SO IT WILL, FOR AS LONG AS ASGRE WILL STAND. UNTILL ARKIN RETURNS ONCE MORE. BUT UNTILL THEN, IN THE KINGDOM BY THE SEA, IN THE MOUTAINS MANTLED BLUE, LIES THE LAND THAT HOLDS TRUE WHERE THE LIFE OF 'WE' RUNS RAMPENT WITH GLEE. THE LIGHT WAITS, AND SLUMBER IN A NEW PERSON, BORN OR YET CONCIEVED, WAITING FOT ITS NEXT CALL. AND AS FOR THE STORY OF THE LIGHT... YOU NEED NOT LOOK FAR... FOR THE LIGHT... IS YOU
