Thirteen Voices

I. God

This is very bizarre, and my first ever real fling at writing Kingdom Hearts poetry...I wrote these at idle moments in New York City. There will be thirteen of them in all, each focusing on an individual Organization member. A challenge for me because first off, I'm not a poet, and second, it's really quite a challenge to get into the Organization members' heads because they're all so...different.

This first poem is from the dear old Superior's perspective, and was one of the more fun ones to write. I don't like him much, but his voice is very fun to capture. He's so...dramatic.

I'm a bit angry at this site for ruining my spacing, so there'll be little "~*~" things to indicate where the stanzas end.

Darkness

Spreads in the tangled, hungry city beneath;

Stretches like an inky wing above,

Broken only by the moon's soft glow.

~*~

Light:

Kingdom Hearts, a moon bright as gold;

Hope, hearts, wholeness--

And power.

~*~

Power.

So much power.

~*~

It will be mine.

The power of light, of forlorn hearts

Gathered and crying against each other

Like lost infants.

~*~

My hearts! My power!

Pitiful creatures of darkness and instinct,

Creatures pale and slick as skinless bones,

Vessels of darkness, shells of nothingness--

All desire that power.

~*~

But for what? What do they know?

Foolish creatures! Slaves to desire!

Wanting wholeness? For what?

~*~

I know what they do not:

I know the power that trembles in the gathering of hearts.

~*~

I will use light and darkness and become as a god.

Read and review! And no, I have not abandoned Tainted but Beautiful. An update is actually coming later this night!

Anyway, even on this I appreciate comments, because it's my first real attempt at poetry in, like, years. These should be updated relatively fast, since I already have ten written (I have no idea why, but Mar-Mar just gave me such a big...block. And I can't proceed out of order, so...). Every review you send me will be rewarded with an "I heart NY" e-cookie!

A lot of love from Jander Panell
