Saga *DarkFire- Shadowflame's Poems*

Yo Rilwen I am really feeling that last one about Dade

 

Phew, I found you poem thread once more...

*is glad about that and happy about your latest up-dates!*

 

And now I finally return here, with a new poem. Thank you to those who've commented.

This one is for the Imperial Knights, in their struggles to maintain the Fel Empire.

In The Emperor's Name
We who are order, we who are truth
Firm of purpose, unswayed, as one
We raise our blades in a single cause
In the Emperor's name is our duty done.

Red-armoured, undaunted
Our blades of silver shine
No matter who opposes us
-In the Emperor's name, hold the line!

We, the Empire's defenders
Neither Sith nor the Jedi
For the Emperor we live and fight
And in his name we die.

 

Nothing about them being very...inspiring?

That is a good poem.

 

Finally, a new SW poem.

Stormtrooper

A sentinel stands ready
A man armoured in white
A silent solemn figure
On guard against the night.

(He's young, so young
And his world was poor
He'd never had
This much food before.)

The helmet is forbidding
A stern and mighty mask
It makes him one of many
All doing the same task.

(He's not paid much
Or so some would say
But those back home
Will not starve, today.)

Imperial enforcer
For his Emperor's laws
Resolute and unflinching
Devoted to the cause.

(They told him things
A rallying cry
They taught him that
All Rebels must die.)

Together they are faceless
An endless stream of men
One falls? He's but a number
A place to fill again.

(He's young, so young
And he won't get old
For lies, he'll die
Doing what he's told.)

 

Your poems are absolutely wonderful! Keep them coming!

Stormtrooper is insightful and heartbreaking. Very nice work!
