The Devil May Cry

The Devil May Cry

A Poem by Jen
"

This is a Rondeau, written out of my crush on Dante, the sexiest devil hunter ever. *yum*

"

 

For Dante, my love, the demons won’t fall.
I fought for your life, yet over mine cast a pall.
The devil was naught, as we fought side by side.
But beware of my faults, not the least of which, pride.
Then I fell to my knees, took your pain, the wound fatal.
 
So the devil may cry, yet to you I still call.
And soft in my heart, a dark love song for all,
I turned up my head to sing before I died,
for Dante, my love.
 
My mind recalled struggle, what fury, what gall,
as we fought side by side in the devil’s own hall.
Then he struck me head on, I fell without guide.
“Don’t stop,” I called out, “keep going, don’t hide.”
Now I lay dying, by Heaven’s light held enthralled,
for Dante, my love.

This is a tragedy I think, she died for someone she loved. I think the singing as
she died was a nice touch. The rhythm was okay but I was more intrested
in what was going on. It's a nice little tale.

P.S. A woman who knows about a videogame character, totally hot!
