Poems Of Yorl

[Rojo]

Well, here you go, poems and crap. From Yorl. But they suck. I only like the first one.

Poems Of Yorl

The Darkling

Moving unseen
Watching from afar
Never noticed
In the shadows of the bar
But he is there
Just…not noticed
He looks familiar
But you’ve never seen him before
Who could he be?
Too late to look
He’s left through the door
Into the cold
After you leap
Sure you recognise him
But the darkness is deep
And now he’s…gone


Waking From Death

Chained to a wall
Blindness
Eyes open wide, but…
Blindness
Darkness
Eyes open wide
Blindness
Convulsing, twisting
Blindness
Numbness, unable to move
Unable to see
Unable to know
Blindness
Then, burning pain
Falling…
Eyes open…
Waking from death,
Able to see

Coldfest

Merry bells
Happy laughter
In the palace hall
For ‘tis the season for Coldfest
Come, one and all

Roast pig and Coldfest pud
Lay upon the table
Old timers smile and say,
“It’s time for a winter fable”

The kind and good
The cruel and evil
Amass for the season
But do not worry, my fickle friends
For it is in good reason!

The people stand
And clasp a hand
In the dining hall
They dance away into the night
While snow begins to fall

The party smiles
And circles
Around the Coldfest tree
And bow their heads
As they sing a solemn melody

The celebration’s over
The children start to yawn
The grown-ups smile
And agree too
For now it’s early morn

Coldfest is a magic time
When Winter has a ball
He dances upon the snow-capped mountains
And doesn’t dare to fall…

Wow, great job Rojo. I'm guessing that the first two have to do with Rojo (the first being about him sort of spotting Shadow). All three of them were great.

[Rojo]

Well, the first was just in general, but the second was about Rojo. The third is about the winter festival of Coldfest.

[Seven]

Oh yes, that's right. everyone has a darkling. I'm just thinking of Rojo because he's the character you play most. I really liked the winter festival one a lot though.

[Rojo]

Er, thanks...why?

[Seven]

I don't know...I just like...the imagery. It seems a little dream like.

[Rojo]

That is the gen-er-al Idea.

[Seven]

Yes, I know. So, are you going to post more yorl poetry? Or just poetry in general?

[Rojo]

Well, I did write some Elder Scrolls parodies of Disney songs...but I doubt there'd be any point, as you wouldn't get them.

I like the first one because it seems dark and mysterious...

*smiles* My morbid little mind just loves such things.

And I like the way the darkling just disappears as the narrator moves to look for him. I can just imagine seeing a dark yet familiar stranger and staring in slight confusion for a while...then trying to lunge for the door before she, as it would be in my case, disappears from sight. But, of course, it's too late. It's interesting...

I do best doing dark things.
That's why I've thought up about 12 different theories philosophers, religious people and the average joe have thought up about how Darklings came to be.
