My Creation

One eve I dance with you along infinity

Touching your pliant soul with graceful fingers

Until you were once more molded to my liking.

I wove you into patterns, created in my image,

Drawing you towards oblivion and insanity.

I lured you through an exstacy of emotional fires

Where I wrought your inner being like steel

To create the sword I had so long desired you to be. .

You yielded to me without protest for yourself,

Simply bowing to the demands I placed on you.

Then you became a phoenix reborn from these pains,

Something greater than me that I could not contain.

You had surpassed what I'd ached for in myself,

Reaching for the paradise that I couldn't see,

And in my blindness I missed your transformation.

I attempted to ensnare you as I had before,

To tempt you to the edge of infinity and beyond reality,

But the radiance within you was greater. .

Now I dream on the edge of eternity,

Forever am I left wondering where the love I felt

Became a twisted desire to mold you into steel.

I am left behind in my cold purgatory, while above

You dance among the stars you always wanted to touch.

I had thought to rewrite your humanity,

To place our names together in the heavens.

Only too late have I realized my mistake in holding you

Never allowing you to have the freedom that was yours.
