Oratory On Paper

Dancing Wisp

In my realm darkness reigns
The sky is always in pain
So from the heavens it rains
Day by day my spirits wane
It is difficult to remain sane
But happiness I will feign
Despite the gloom that runs through my veins
This shade I disdain
But to who can I complain?
I alone reside in this domain
Only I remain
In this place life cannot sustain
But sorrow and misery it does contain
Every soul but my own has been slain
This desolation is profane
Without compassion and inhumane
It is my existence's bane
This land covered in a dark stain
My struggle is done in vain
However one day salvation came
It was so strange and arcane
With words I could not explain
The light that filled my eyes and brain
The beating of my heart I could not restrain
My tears I could not retain
Its origins I could not ascertain
But I knew in my heart we were the same
This being was anything but mundane
Something not even the darkness could tame
It flickered its wispy vane
And danced as if it had no constrain
Its life I wanted to attain
Its vitality I had to obtain
So my arms acted as a chain
Its warmth caught in my mane
I became enveloped in scorching pain
I could hear it whisper as it boiled my veins
But if I could I would touch it again
I spoke one line before my life did wane
"Ahh, I think that I will call it flame"
