Poems to Laehval, Upon my death.

Lerakricks

 

I once was considered a spy,

All accusations merely a lie.

The Khre'Riov mistook,

She ruled with a hook,

But never could give me the eye.

 

 

There once was a girl from deep space.

She had quite the uncommon-looking face.

But when she yelled across the ship,

And gave tr’Pexil much lip,

His response only to give her chase.

 

 

There once was a Daise in engineering,

Her methods were quite domineering.

To everyone she saw,

They were simply a flaw.

But tr’Pexil still found her endearing.

Early History

 

Those years ago,

Between the cold metal,

Even colder heart, I met...her.

Heart, full of rage.

The impudent engineer,

Marching in.

The newest and the best of her kind thought she.

Thought of no one but her own,

Own skills and down self.

Show her I would,

Stab her heart,

Through the veins, start at the gut,

Wine would be of the finest year,

Quickest death.

 

Sadly, my own weakness,

Pulled me back from the brink of thine demise.

I lacked conviction,

Soul nor Body.

Rather we left each other in anger.

Our paths would diverge.

Our paths would intertwine.

 

You rose quickly in rank,

Skills proved worthy.

Deeds let me know things would change.

Keeping pace a challenge.

Try as I might you,

Surpassed me,

Bested me,

Mocked me,

Ignored me.

 

 

I was well below reproach,

Beneath you in skill.

The pain proved hardening.

My mood.

My soul.

Yours already crystallized by time and element,

 

Water, air, earth,

No, of fire.

 

A cinder lay where you heart should be.

Decency long departed.

Was it ever there?

Mystery with no answer.

 

Time moves on,

People too.

Except for us,

We remained together apart,

Worked side by opposite side.

I began to look up to you,

All the while a cold gaze peered down on me.

A desire of respect you stole from me,

Not now, but years ago.

My being crushed,

Under your boot,

Under your thumb.

 

Others found her equally cruel,

Silently they spoke of the rigid line,

A line laid out by their Daise.

Rigid,

Ne’er to waver.

Perfection the goal,

Cost no object.

 

An object did have cost:

Her core,

Herself,

Her.

 

Can’t Stop

 

You live in my dreams

While awake or in slumber

For many a turn

 

Beach

 

Beach and the warm sun

Violet treats melting quickly

Thug spoils good time

 

Shore Left

 

Invitation sent

Waiting on homeworld for not

Stood up with no word

 

Wanted

 

My want was so bad,

It became harder to think.

From the shadows you had,

Given me none to drink.

Those many years I pined,

For a love cold as ice.

My advances only hers to rescind,

Like a broken device.

We two on the shuttle,

I doubted my heart,

Second thoughts nearly did scuttle,

What felt like a fresh start.

On the Talon finally did express,

Though now our love seems a mess.

Wow Pexil......Just wow!! Cut it a bit close to the wire, but this is way, way above and beyond your assignment. As a reward, El'Riov, you will gain a +5 to all saves vs a d20...... for the rest of 2012.

 

Menkha!!! And since I do know that there is a very strong chance of some weapons fire during that time period, this is a good thing for you!

 

Great job!!
