Light in the Dark
By Licentia poetica
 
“You must show no fear, erase all sorrow.”
Poised, balanced on the cusp of failure between two absolutes:
Behind him the shattered remains of his exquisite control, impassable;
Before him a black hellhole of eternity without her light.
 
“This arm is for holding a sword.”
Devoured by monstrous, inevitable death framed in his likeness.
He rescued, and as the impossible youth embraced her humanity
His father's fang drove back the demons stealing her light.
 
“Lord, she has stopped breathing.”
Paralyzing fear. Inconsolable sorrow. Failed legacy.
His immense, hoarded power rendered impotent
By the frailty of the form encasing her light
 
“Ridiculous.”
Impossible that power was not the answer.
Incredible that his strength was not sufficient.
Inconceivable that he would acknowledge his need for her light.
 
“Rin.”
Poised, balanced on the cusp of agony between absolutes.
Inevitable sacrifice, the choice of the damned
His darkness shattered by the flame of her light.
