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.

I think this is excellent prose. It has just enough imagery to impress me and hold my attention. Good work.
