Beyond - Legends Anakin/Tahiri poetry ~The Collection~ UPDATED 8/18 "Sleepwalking"

I wasn't threatening you... bribing you with bananas maybe And now that I have a nice Anakin Skywalker icon, you really don't scare me

Well... maybe a little

Well, good.




Shows what you know. Mojo is too fat and out of shape to climb trees now. When he's not reading and typing for me, he sleeps on the couch.

What, too many bananas? He types for you? Getting lazy?



However, Mojo does feel bad about this whole banana thing, so he decided to give you a dancing banana


Wow.



Hope you like it *nods in awe*


So it's going to be "who shot J.R?" or in this case "Anakin?"

Exactly.



Elfsheen:

Thank you. I'm glad you liked them.

That's the life of a poet, ay? Improving. Atlest in theory, anyway.

Haven't heard from u in awhile? Been busy writing poetry?

Don't stop writing

Don't worry. I won't.

 

Busy? Moi?! A little. I moved once again. Uni' still keeping me busy as hell

I also sort of fell from the Star Wars fandom planet to land right onto the Alexander one, where I fell through and crash landed hard in the world of Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. But now with the new movie coming up I'm regurarly visiting the Star Wars fandom planet again.

I haven't so much been writing, do have idea's, but there's a huge road block in my head...

 

Block in her head? Oh dear. maybe the movie will remove that for you. I've always liked reading your poems.

 

What, too many bananas? He types for you? Getting lazy?

He does all my reading and typing. I'm illiterate


Just hoisting this up

 

He does all my reading and typing. I'm illiterate

That explains some things...

 

That explains some things...

Is this about my poor spelling and grammer?

 

...heh. heh.

"You underestimate my power."


Edit: Found a better pic

 

That pic of Anakin would have a little more power if Obi hadn't chopped him to pices in the next moment.

Nice pic!

 

I'm nominating "Flicker of Darkness" for best poem if anyone else wants to do the same in the Fan Fic awards nominations are up the 22nd so let's get one for JoD!

 

Yep - I like that one, too. I'll do the same as you, Yoda. I've nearly finished my list - whew!

 

Thanks Yoda and Tahi.

Glad I could help.

 

Could it be? An update after so long?


It's true!

For all the long months of waiting, here's a new poem!


EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: This was inspired by YodaKenobi's latest I, Jaina Solo post. Thanks Wes.


Sleepwalking



Holding close to heart tender pain
I live out every remaining breath
On this funeral pyre I?ve lain
Waiting for the grim embrace of death

Each day going through the motions
Alive in flesh yet not truly living
Family attachments, my Jedi devotions
I know no peace but I keep on giving

My futile existence; not brave enough to end
My duties to others refuse to shirk
Shadows of nightmares give shape and bend
Quiet tormenters inside me lurk

Stench of burning flesh, a peculiar memory
Glimpse of a kiss I long to bestow
Injustice inside I cannot hope to flee
Begging the Force-life itself- to let me go

Gently keeping it tentative fragile grip
An unstable balance, edging the brink
Always cautious fear I might slip
In wake of that memory, I shrink

Shake me softly, whisper in my ear
?This is a dream, Tahiri, its fake?
Tell me there?s never been a basis to my fear
I?ll look at you and smile gratefully:
I?m glad to be awake.

 

Yay! New poem!

*reads*



That was beautiful! One of the best you've ever written. Loved the way you captured Tahiri's pain and the way she's half dead after Anakin's been killed (or sleepwalking ). Would have fit in perfectly with my I, JS post yesterday

I especially loved the last bit :

Shake me softly, whisper in my ear
?This is a dream, Tahiri, its fake?
Tell me there?s never been a basis to my fear
I?ll look at you and smile gratefully:
I?m glad to be awake.

I thought that was brilliant. Ending it with a smile and a sardonic line about happiness when we know it's not a dream and everything is that tragic

Terrific job

Thanks! Yeah, your post yesterday did inspire me! I forgot to put that in when I posted it but its there now. Glad you like it.

Yeah, sometimes you have to pretend thinks are okay, even when their not.

Terrific job

Thanks again, Wes.

 

I, too, wish it was just a dream.

Beautiful poem, Destiny. I was beginning to think you were a mere myth with only strange footprints and vague photographs as evidence that you exist.
