Stained Blood, Stained Tears Jarvinia Sheer boredom and a few minutes' time...led to a poem from Janette's point of view. Forever Knight and any of its recognizable characters are not mine. May not be archived without permission, although if you'd like to do so, please ask. ;) ~~~~~ Stained Blood, Stained Tears Stars glistened in the night sky As she stared silently down Through a window above To a shadowed picture below. There stood her Knight Her heart and her tears. On the ground lay his princess Her life fully drained. The mortal was gone His heart's source of joy. His smile swiftly faded Washed away in a flood. There stood her Nicholas His eyes calm and blue. As he asked for an end She almost flew down. A staff rose high Then pierced sharply down. It slid effortlessly Through air and through flesh. His wish was now granted Life drifting tiredly away. She felt her heart break Shattering and cracking. There lay her love So cold, so still. There, still standing Was a lone, silent figure. A figure of grief A figure of love. He knelt down by Nicholas Giving a soft touch of his hand. Her Nicholas was gone His eyes now closed. Darkness faded to scarlet And the stars grew still. Now only emotion remained Stained blood, stained tears. Jarvinia ~ February 2003 jarvinia@gmx.com @>--,---`---
