= Ashmedai's Poetry =
 
  
Well, you didn't heed the warnings, and here you are about to look at the works of poetry penned by a sentimental swordsman walking Creation like Kain in Kung-Fu, or Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, but mostly like a very sad and lonely paragon of virtue in the Second Age. Most are about women he has loved, who have subsequently died. If you want to live a life full of joy, do not stare at this man's grief.
 
 
== Hope of Dawn ==
 
 
I hardly recognize it
 
This place we used to dwell
 
The echoes of your laughter
 
No longer here will swell
 
As I recall your face
 
And what happened after
 
I wait and look to the east
 
And pray for some sign of dawn
 
 
I tried to hasten to your aid
 
But the path, it was so long
 
They left no sign, no token
 
All that I found
 
Was word that you were gone
 
 
So I walk here endlessly
 
But always softly waiting
 
Because I dare not mourn
 
While there is some hope of dawn
 
 
Always promised I'd see you here
 
Now I've lost you, and so I fear
 
I'll never find you, wherever I go
 
And though I love you still
 
They left me nothing to hold in my arms
 
And though I always will
 
It feels so wrong
 
This waiting here so long
 
 
A broken-hearted wanderer is all
 
Your passing left of me
 
But shoulders squared up strong
 
I turn and carry on
 
I've waited here too long
 
 
And so I must abandon you
 
And fight against despairing
 
For I have no time to mourn
 
Though there is no hope of dawn
 
 
  -for Azure Sky
 
 
 
== Haiku ==
 
 
Since all I can write in the real world seems to be humorous haiku, I have had great difficulty writing any sort of serious poetry. This is as close as I can usually get.
 
 
What remains of love-
 
This gently fallen cinder
 
Winking in the grass
 
 
A blossoming dream
 
Plucked in her springtime beauty
 
Awake to winter
