Marius!

A fleeting prose to a fictional character that I have come to love.

A beautiful creature of magical light,

Snatched from his mother's hands,

Without warning or alarm or goodbye,

A son though man, my dark angel.

The protector of the ancient ones,

True, spirited and yearning for peace,

A lover of those powerful few,

A loving heart of a killer, my killer.

Never even, what dies was innocence,

Not human for decades, how peaceful,

A diet of blood for eternity,

A cemented block in timeless age.

My lover, my priest, my teacher,

A tormented soul of the soulless,

Laughing screams of children,

An immortal with mortal dreams.

Author's Note

A weak wording prose for a man, a fictional man who I have come to love and fear.

Your poem portrays a colorful story in succinct lines. A dark, tragic, character emerges from a sinister, unloving world, which frequently happens in real life. As usual, your words are lucid and potent, with stark imagery. The four short verses are manageable bites of cognitive material, giving the reader much to ponder.

Great description in this short tale in the poem. You create a interesting character in so few words. A excellent poem.

I like the contradiction in the line a "loving heart of a killer, my killer" You describe Marius well, but I can't picture him. The description of what makes him Marius is great however
