A NIGHT IN THE WATER TEMPLE

Inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The clip of inspiration is below. 04 13 11 "When water fills the lake, shoot for the morning light."

Who's unearthly pen of purpose
spiked the medicinal lingo of
my life's mission statement with
the sweet calligraphy of a
redeemer's destiny

On what grounds of anticlimactic
credentials was I plucked from
the frozen context of forest green ignorance
and assigned to this twitchy box of a bath house
and its drowned doors spiteful currents
self-appointed damsels and
sea dweller duds

This I ponder as a hero
pampers his beleaguered feet
beneath the towel of an opportune torch
and inquires of his whimsical pet pearl
why an instrument of heaven's orchestra
could not compose a path to a shoehorn

With everyday gadgets of the gods
he is coming for my heart
and I will beat him with it
till the destiny of a redeemer wraps
its existence around the black dimensions
of my inferiority and makes
for the morning light

I don't really know much about The Legend of Zelda, but this is really nice. It's written so beautifully, and the words just express so much feeling.

That's cool, I tried to make it as universal as possible, so it could be read by those unfamiliar with the games as well...I'm glad you like it :)

[Mizuki Tsukiakari]

You did a good job making it understandable to people who aren't familar with the game :)

[kublakhan27]

Thanks, I'm happy (and relieved!) to hear that :)

[Mizuki Tsukiakari]

Were you concerned that non-Zelda people wouldn't get it?

[kublakhan27]

I was...plus, it's hard to get this thing into groups that don't like fanart cuz that's immediately what they go by when they see the description...I'm actually toying with the idea of dropping that description to see if the reception changes :)

[Mizuki Tsukiakari]

If you want to post it in a group, you can always post it in my group, Tenshi. We accept all writing :)

[kublakhan27]

Right on, I think I'm in the group already but I'll double-check :)

[Mizuki Tsukiakari]

Yep, and don't forget to post in the forum if you want reviews :)
