You and D

30th July 2012

Part 1:The First Touch.

As Darkness was coming closer and closer

You were smiling like a kid

And because you were lunatic

That very moment when she touched You

-with her gentle hands,covered with black velvet gloves

You felt important

even if it was for the worst

…someone had noticed You

And You were not afraid of her

The big bright eyes tricked you

like Eric did back to 1900

And then her smile

and that moment you started wondering

what if she was Beauty(?)

or just Darkness wearing her ironic mask

You could not resist and asked her,hoping to get the answer you wanted

but not..

“You fool!i am glad

glad to find you at last

searching for thousand years,

sucking thousand souls,

just to find the one that would satisfy me the most!”

Her eyes were staring at you now,down on your knees

begging for mercy..

She started laughing..

Part 2:The Confession.

After the sun went down,four Dark Passengers took You to her Kingdom,tied you with chains and waiting for their Mistress.And then she came,wearing a black dress,with so many sparkles,each one representing the pure souls she stole.

She asked you for a last wish

You hesitated

Then obeyed you

You had a wish

but..you were besotted with her

and you kept your mouth shut again

She was mad

She was desperate to hear your wish

That time her order came along with a pungent scream

“I wish I was yours

even if it was only till the Dusk” you said

“Not with the soul you carry” she answered

“Then help me,I could do anything!”

“Your soul is dark,is confused,is d..”

“Then help me!It is my wish and you must do it!

A drop of tears showed up from her eyes.Tears that no human being could ever imagine that would come from Darkness.Was it tears of joy,listening You were ready to change for her,or tears of sadness,because She was not able to have you(?)You were a mortal,and She was the evil being in the universe.”But he has a soul,a soul I was searching for years” she thought.”Maybe there is a reason for that,maybe there is a reason for everything..”

Part 3:The Great Feeling.

Darkness was ready

You were ready

Both of you so calm

for the first time in your lifes

Finally the sword came out

Darkness and Redemption together again

Redemption was so bright like her eyes

Oh her eyes-her eyes!

Any man could die in front of them

You were terrified when you saw the sword.Desperation,Dissapointment and Fear came to your mind.“So that was it?” you asked-“Trust me” Darkness said,and full of confidence raised Redemption and stuck it in your chest.

And you screamed

And after that you smiled

A perfect smile

This time you knew it

It was for your own good

The blade ripped out your soul

It was sharp

It was cold

It was adept

Part 4:The Rebirth.

You saw unique things happening right in front of your eyes.Things you had never imagined.Things you will never see again.

Your Nightmares were disappeared

Your sins were forgiven

Mistakes of the past were erased

Lies became truths

And you cried

And the tears were definitely tears of joy

You were reborn

This time stronger

with more courage

with more power

with more will

You woke up

You saw that smile again

more real and true than the last time

together with a feeling of satisfaction

She knew she did the right thing

Then she gave you the sword

“Do the same to me now…

and i am yours...

Forever…”

Comments

I read this because I am half-Greek / half English, now living in Greece and you obviously have a Greek name.

I liked this. I liked the style and the images. It's something between a poem, a pre-Raphaelite painting and a fantasy story. I'm not sure I understood it all but I think I got the gist. I'm not sure about the title, or why 'You' is sometimes capitalised and sometimes not. Or 'D' - is that Darkness? I think I would like a bit more clarification about what's going on.

Notes - Punctuation: remember to leave a space after commas, full stops, etc.

Good work.
