the Dark Saint

I have swallowed a poison,

but it's one I cannot cure.

Every poison I have taken

before, I could cure.

So why can't I cure yours?

I am a master of Poisons,

yet the venom you spewed,

is much too much for me.

It harms my heart, it hurts

my gut. Your potent poison

has seeped into my soul.

I have swallowed a poison

you unwittingly created.

I'm glad we spent our days

as one. Our hands entwined,

our gazes focussed together.

In our next life, perhaps,

we can find each other again.

And then together we can watch

as the plums blossom on the mountain.

I am sorry I left before you,

I just pray you can continue.

Go forth and kill those Demons.

also im a cm top sue me

The old Taoist

Our youth may be long gone,

but the moon has remained the same.

Although we've changed a lot,

the earth around us is ever stagnant.

The stream is still where it was

a thousand years ago.

Although we're greying now,

and our beards nearly touched the ground,

our martial bones remained unfazed.

We met as rivals in the woods,

we squabbled over fame and glory,

now I'll miss your glowing spark.

Your Way was strong, as was it firm.

Now it guides few to their fate.

And although we may have met with blades,

now we share our drinks.

Our youth may be long gone,

but the moon has remained the same.

Though I doubt you'll see,

with your distant eyes.

The mountains are grey with mist,

shedding tears at your demise.

I feel lost without you

by my side. With you my yin has gone.

Do you like the spirit I pour you?

I can't afford much more.

All I can do, is sit next to you.
