This poem is inspired by Final Fantasy XV (formerly Final Fantasy Versus XIII), specifically the song [Omnis Lacrima]. (Waiting for the game in PS4 by 2015, I hope so... I don't have the money to buy PS4, okay?!)
LXXVI
AN ODE TO THE FIFTEENTH
Finally, I came
To the ending I've always waited
Destiny shall devour my death
Remorse shall relinquish my return
Nightfall shall never cease to bring back
The memory of my dreaded past
So I come
To bring with me the blood
That was never spilled in time
My hand shall rest on my sword
My body shall decay upon the sound
Of fifteen undiscovered fragments
And all inevitable truths
In me, the world relies
The fate of the Crystal is certain
The time has come
Light of the morning desolation
Shine upon this mourning eye
From the emptiness, I rise
Seeking the reality in the chaos
Waiting for the sudden chance
Of any imminent revelation
Among the glass towers ahead
Lies the fearful, distorted truth
I arrive at the resting place
With the shadow of doubt, casting
Where does this path lead to?
Will it ever guide me somewhere?
From a distance, I travel
To the borders of reality, breaking
Somewhere I find a hint
A blur, a smoke, a phantom
Of the feigning facade that furnished
The audience awaits silently
I act under the flames
Consumed, I become part of history
My sanctuary, doomed to destruction
My identity, removed from the throne
Beginning of the war unravels
Sweet peace, comfort my affliction
Seek the knowledge in my heart
Snatch it away, a cursed memory
Erase the stains of the ink of the ocean
All I long is the pure paradise
A safe haven, thousands time afar
With the reality, clear and blue
With the sky, vivid and hopeful
Doom bears the sign of rain
Falling upon the tremor of my finger
From a morning star, I revive
To the mission of the world's novel
Riding my soul through the paper path
Clearing the road of true redemption
Of whatever was lost, or may
The wings unveil within
Is sacrifice anything at all?
Is my doing near enough?
From the silence, I speak
Against the lies that past dispels
The harmony of reigning, fractured
Being the cast of the greater despair
Only the first of what may come
I ready, standing ever still
Gripping the faith that remains untouched,
The next sunrise shall bind unsteady
Light, unfazed by commotion
Stirred over a mere reflection
Distance draws the lines of fate
Reminisce the days of tranquility
Beside the hushed water flowing
Turbulent skies leave a vague sign
The impending struggle closes
Replaced, a door shall creak silently
Like Pandora, peeking at the end
End, the great mystery of books
Of myths, powers, legends, and evils
Somewhere hidden, cursed, today
A mark shall distinguish difference
End, the creation and destruction alike
Balance of the world's dissonance
Unison to the gate of revelation
A blind story unfolds
Higher, reach the end of the days
Change will sustain the changes
Nothing shall remain unaltered
To the death by truth, oneself
Remember the sacrifice, my heart
Is laden with the last grief
Stricken by a memory of love,
The hand, united at last
