Random poem I wrote...

...inspired by MapleStory stories...it's an 'epic' tale in a poem... About some random guy and his adventures. So, am I good writer? I know this is kinda cheesy...

-

He makes his way from the life of an ordinary child,

Growing up, making friends, gaining new experience.

Life is nothing but the most common tale, dreary to the mind,

No turns, no drops, nor heavy sorrows to stir tears and thoughts.

-

Ascending necromancers cast their black spells,

And prideful towns collapse to dirty ruins under siege.

Necromancy is a black angel that spreads its wings;

Shadows fall and voices rage in their vicious battle cries.

The world becomes as doomed as the fate of this future hero and his new love,

For oceans unwillingly do grow between the young girl and him,

And to swim in those ice-cold waters would only give strife.

Love’s sweetness gone, only a light to shine from above.

Just save her, save her from this coldness too bitter for her sweet beauty.

-

Bravely, confidently, he looks up to the sky and picks up his blade,

Eyes burning with a fire like never before.

Charging into battle by the side of comrades,

Looking for what matters the most in this adventure tale:

Liberation. Victory. Save her from the lost and damned.

Can he even save the world?

-

There’s no wistful glancing back at the other grievances of the past.

His rugged road goes on for all he must be,

Through the dangerous, winding paths of adventure and battle,

Sometimes down to the pits of near-death, down to the darkness.

But with each step of the way the light grows brighter.

Brighter…

Clearer…

Illuminate the way in this arcane labyrinth of life

As it twists and turns into revelations of the dark and light.

-

Both sides fight. The hero only grows stronger through this harshness,

New powers learned, the strength of the divine through his blade,

Each bit of pain and joy takes taking their toll;

Hope becomes only a fading light.

Yet he knows...

He must have faith and tell himself...

The dark can never win.
