Saga Behold (Poem. Obi/Ani. ROTS-angst)

Title: Behold
Author: Alley_Skywalker
Genre: Poetry, angst
Timeframe: ROTS, post-ROTS
Characters: Obi-Wan, Anakin (in mention)
Summary: Over the years Anakin had become a much larger part of Obi-Wan?s life than the Jedi Master had ever thought possible. They had become, if not everything than, a lot to each other. Yet the Dark Side has interfered. Throughout the end of ROTS and beyond Obi-Wan has to deal with a new reality ? one without Anakin in it?
Notes: The word ?love? here is used in a very TOS-compliant, platonic/familial sort of way.





Behold


Behold the falling of the water,
The bitter tears of fragile hopes,
The rain of shards that once made up a lifetime,
The brawling waves like tortured souls?
Behold

Behold the birthing of the darkness,
The clash of chaos that replaced our harmony?s song,
A ball of yellow light falls to the floor and shatters,
The feasting flames feed on the eternal void?
Behold

Behold the death of my salvation,
The shipwrecked cries of my broken heart,
The fatal sinking downward towards coral
To the pitch black depths where all dreams end?
Behold

Behold the stifling emptiness with which you left me.
I lean back against the wicker couch, surrendering
To the memories that shadow and roam the empty rooms,
Taunting me and waking memories of you?
Behold

Behold the salty taste of sweet forgiveness.
My love withstands the pummeling of misery?s waves,
No flame, no shadow, and no chasm, can take away the dearest desire of a heart
So, when the storm subsides my love will still be here?
Behold

 

That was very lovely. I thought that spoke a lot about what both characters could have been feeling, especially towards the end.

 

I am afraid to talk.
That was SO good!
Sad, synonym for sad, synonym for amazing, stunning, you name it.

tapping fish
go Master!

 

Wow... picturing Anakin as an Ocean in there... wow. Well done.

 

Sara_Kenobi: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it

mujapple-juicey: Thanks, Padawan. Your excitement is always appriciated

DaenaBenjen42: Hmmm...I never particularly thought of it as Anakin being descriped as an Ocean rather the whole situation personofied in that sense but, hmm...that's an interesting thought right there it

 

Gorgeous poem, Alley. The last verse was especially touching.

 

amidalachick: OMG, Kim, I'm didn't even notice you reviewed. I feel stupid now lol. I'm glad you liked it. I still have waves of SW longing, even though I know i'm not as heavily into the fandom as i use to be

 

Master, you talk like a poet.

 

Simply beautiful!

 

Yes it is!

 

Beautiful poem!

 

"An articuate masterpiece that will remain without a rival for eternity."
I read that phrase out of a textbook and I thought it fits this poem perfectly.

 

This poem deserves alot of credit. It is really wonderful!

I love it!

 

Here's my thought: THIS POEM DESERVES ALL SORTS OF AWARDS IF IT HASN"T GOTTEN AT LEAST 100 BY NOW.

 

you should profit off of this, Master! oh the cash!

 

Congrats, Master, on the award! see? I told you this has got to win somethin'
