The Demon that Fell in Love

They say that Love is a fairy tale that is tasted by all
Well I shall tell you a story that created a great fall
It was many years ago during the times of great strife and war
Times where men and women became legends of great lore

It began with a mere orphan with no family
A young general was passing by with his horse and cavalry
The boy was crying on the sides of the street
The general halted his men, came down and offered him a sweet

The boy peered up at him through his teary eyes
The general gave the boy a charming smile as he was in total surprise
The orphan hugged him dearly as he found his new-found Father
The boy was never before given such a great Honour

Many years passed by until the boy grew of age when a curse was given
The night of every new moon, a demon he would transition
The curse can only be broken
When his heart's desire for Love will be awoken

As the boy grew into a man, he became wiser, stronger, but also more lethal
The people in the kingdom became more fearful
And so he was chained every night of the new moon
That chamber would be named the "Demon's Cocoon"

The young man was soon enlisted in the cavalry by his Father's side
"The Demonic Duo" together they were codified
They were an unstoppable force
But their force would very soon divorce

The young man fell in battle when he was struck with a piercing pole
He felt his body separate from his soul
The life force within the man left him for dead
It seemed as if it no longer desired life and so it fled

He opened his eyes thinking he had passed from the world
However a maiden's voice he heard
She came closer to him giving him a glowing grin
His life force returned due to this angelic jinn

Her jet black hair flowing down gracefully
Her bangs tease him by caressing him gently
Her scent was of midsummer night's rain
Her radiance captured his Heart with Love's reign

He suddenly felt lighter, happier and joyful
His Heart to Hers will forever be loyal
The demonic curse was now broken
For his Heart's desire for Love has been awoken

He soon learned that she also was a fierce fighter and rider
They spent many special days and nights together
Their love for each other grew fonder
And so, he decided to introduce her to his beloved Father

They rode over to his Father's kingdom
The Father was glad to see him well and no longer fearsome
However, when the love-struck son introduced his Love to him
The father's smile turned into a grim

He ordered his guards to chain his son's Love to the Demon's Cocoon
He became baffled by this event causing such a typhoon
His father explained to the son that his Love was the Kingdom's Hate
She was known to be the Enemy of the State

The son headed to the Demon's Cocoon to confront this voracious verity
He saw his Love chained as he once was during his years of insanity
Her radiance no longer felt in the forsaken chamber
The chained, dull spirit quickly gave him a reminder

"Why have you forsaken me?" her voice creaked
She looked up at her Lover with her weary eyes, his soul, she seeked
He slowly approached her with soft strides
He began caressing her fatigued face, just as she did during his wounded nights

Suddenly, a piercing pole impaled her heart
His heart was equally pierced as he witnessed his Love depart
Enraged, he saw his father put on his charming smile of betrayal
"Your love for her is an act purely disgraceful!"

As the new moon peered over the night sky
His curse returned and so did the Demon that was known to terrify
Out from the Demon's Cocoon
He launched his bloody vengeance, colouring the moon maroon

They say that whenever the Moon turns the colour of bloody crimson
The spirit of the Demon Lover has risen
He will be after a couple's soul
It is said it is the only way where he will feel satisfied and whole

Anyways, the night of the new moon is here
We must depart now, my dear
I must now retire for my chamber
Where I must shackle myself to avoid being a danger...

A Man of Sorrows

It was a cold and rainy night
Deep inside myself I knew it wasn't right
I was falling for a woman who was forbidden for me
I already had a love who had my heart's key

The night's storm was becoming tempestuous
And I was becoming more and more restless
From our little chats I was closing in on my betrayal
And so I committed the deed that was most disgraceful

As the God-forsaken gale was reaching its peak
My mind's discipline and restraint was becoming weak
My innocent soul screaming out the poisons of the evil deed
But my physical body caved in and did not succeed.

The squall began to end
My mind began to resent
My soul began to weep
And my body wanted to forever sleep

A time of weakness
Can cause a man to feel so much wretchedness

Just as a woman owns emotions
A man gives them equal devotions

Life of a Zen Warrior

Lying in life's misery
Attempting to heal his emotions' injury
Life enjoys to play a game full of trickery
Enjoying life is a statement so contradictory

Licking the warrior's wounds
Humming to the fighter's tunes
Counting the lonely nights spent with the many moons
Building a fortitude of emotional cocoons

But the zen of the warrior never dies
He continues to fight and pain he defies
Failure after failure, he always tries
The undying spirit is what he relies

In constant calm and utter peace
Unruly emotions is what he attempts to decrease
Discipline is what he aims to increase
Anger and fury he will never please

Life can be a treacherous journey
Life can be a constant worry

Hardships are faced before glory
Just as heaven is presented after purgatory
