Steven a wonder cursed to be a man,
The world made to his plan,
He works towards valiancy and tranquility,
Steven a victim of crime and pain,
A warrior a man held in high regards killed in disdain,
He lost his life fighting for our future,
His wounds unable to be sutured,
Lost his life to that Mega Dart,
That Nerf war so violent,
The world after his death fell silent,
Steven was a marvel in human form,
Carrying on now in his garb set and torn,
My world still moves yet time feels frozen,
Steven was a friend and a mentor all the same,
Now set to rest with no one who would give him blame.
Ohhhh.... If only you knew just how I feel "Right Now".
All would cease to exist in your meager life and "You"
would come for me.
Not even the "Underworld of Gehenna" itself could keep
you from taking me away in your arms and freeing me
with your kiss.
Can you not sense that I am ripe for the taking....
as a sweet fruit well preserved, and yearning to be
devoured?
Gone are the days of valiancy, the days when you
rode hard and fierce to captivate what was yours.
Yet, "Right Now" only in my secluded mischief do I
feel the heat of your desire and witness the
power of your demand.
Today's world have made you a distant mirage that
"You" can not measure up to; and, "Right Now" you
are only a shell of your greater days of glory.
Disappointedly, I keep my eyes tightly closed
in my devised notions, for I do not want to
look upon your weakened form... "Right Now".
From the Womb of Mother
To Arms of Beloved
From Cradle of Love
To Loneliness of Grave
From vast Baron Lands
To Sky-rise Cities of metal
From Frail of Toddler
To Valiancy of Maturity
From Gore of Barbarism
To Refinement of Civilization
From the Saints of Divinity
To Leaders of Power
From Infidel of Darkness
To Beloved of God
