The Perfect Father

He doesn't know I'm watching him,
Hasn't the faintest clue,
So occupied his mind's become,
With Luke and Leia too.

He is the perfect father,
A fine protector of his young,
His children his greatest achievement,
Right now he's rocking one.

Luke is in his adoring arms,
His sniffling slowly stopping.
Whispered words of calm and joy
And a touch from within the force.

He is the perfect father,
So dedicated to his cause,
Luke stops crying and falls asleep
In time to his father's singing.

He was my padawan.
Now he is a man,
A man with a heart of gold,
And a father with a soothing touch
That can quiet his frigh

Your Suicide Determines...

He loved you oh so more,
Tried to be the man you saw,
But possessed he came,
And down he fall,
Drowning in an ocean of pain.

Your suicide determines everything.
From his descent,
To their sweet victory
On the green shed moon of Endor.
To the new Jedi of years to come.

Not in pain shall they fight,
For you gave them the will,
The means.
The destiny and fate,
For all to live in a world of no hate.

And he who doomed you all to live in hell.

Wedding Vows

Nightmares.
Scary nightmares.
Then I wake up screaming...
And he's there holding me,
Cradling me against the pain,
That was another year.

He turned...
My Ani turned on me...
But I knocked some sense into him.
Instead he killed the Sith lord.
And now he's history.
And we renewed our wedding vows.

On Naboo by the lake,
Obi-Wan a witness.
C3PO and R2D2.
The nightmares fade.
I laugh at them,
And then I wonder.

Am I safe if I let Ani cook dinner?

The Best Thing

Did I throw away my life?
The best thing?
My angel?
The one in a flaming gown?

She who ruled a people strong?
She who made my nights worthwhile?
To return from hurt to light?
Hold her tight as the night grew old?

Did I really kill her?
Is Palpatine just a nightmare?
Did he lie?
Did she die?

Did I break her heart with fright?
If I did.
Let me die,
Than live in misery and hateful spite.

The best thing.
I love her.
Did I really kill her?
Please tell me force.

She was the best thing in my life.

A Skywalker In My Arms

A Skywalker In My Arms

It's a boy.
A healthy little boy.
Small and mewling,
Crying for his dying mother.

A new life starts
As his father's ends,
A new Skywalker
Rises to place.

I feel him so strong
So alive in the force.
A lot like his father,
A Skywalker in my arms.

Save You

Save You

My love you're dying.
I couldn't save you,
Could only see the monster you were.
You broke my heart.

Only time left for this,
My curtain call soon,
Leave Luke and Leia behind
And wait for you to heal.

Can't save you from this,
That glint in your eyes,
That lust for power
Beyond who you love.

What happened to him?
Where did Anakin go?
He's lost in some evil fiend,
So I can't save you.

I can't even save myself...
For my...
Children...
Darth...

Stronger In Death

Don't think of her.
My apprentice.
She is nothing but a light gone out.
A hinderance in my plotting.
A grim memory of the Jedi.
Of their deceit and their lies to you.

She's lurking there in your mind.
Your black helmet doesn't disguise it.
I can read your mind, Vader.
Her memory is still around,
Luring you to the dead,
The deceased life Ani once had.

Like a siren calling,
I feel your mind weakening.
I told you that you killed her.
I wish that I was joking...
Dead indeed.
You killed her alright.

And now she's calling out to you.
In your dreams of darkest sleep.
I hear her voice whispering.
I wish I could shut her up.
But

Whose Name Is Darth Vader

In the final day of despair.
Lost hope and harsh deaths
The pain of many younglings
The torn heart of a mother
Unable to hear her crying mewling babies.
Unable to save them.
Or him.
From that monster.
That monster whose name is Darth Vader.

Thou art not human.
Not man of flesh or born of woman,
A mixture of mechanics,
Technology and dark magic,
Born from the ashes
Of a once great chosen one.
His mind is ticking,
Whirling like C3PO,
But in a place where gold has no path to tread.

She knew! She knew!
The good deep inside.
She would surrender to him.
Her life was over!
The heartless monster left in his place,
How was a b

Break Your Heart

Break Your Heart

We're standing at the point of death.
Beyond all reason left to live.
So I break your heart
To make you see
That the man you knew
Died within the core.

It's breaks me up to see you fall.
Thought you'd see my point of view.
Obviously I was wrong,
You teamed up to have me killed.
No I'm a broken hearted man.
Left with no love left to spare.

I wipe away that single tear.
Start my life as something fierce.
I break your heart to be who I am.
Not some Jedi in the fall.
A man on a mission,
Now the man you hurt is gone.

A Ghost Within My Mind

It's another day of bleeding.
More rebel scum shall fall.
To the hands of the empire,
Crushed by my cold force.
Then out comes a dream,
That I've dreamed for so long.
Step behind the pillar.
And once more you have come.

I can still feel you.
Like a ghost within my mind.
I'll wrap my arms around you.
Only to find that you've gone.
I'll break and fall
Till the tears drown you out.
And I'll go back to darkness
Because the light blinds you out.

Because only shadows tell me what I do want.

Direction

You're standing at a crossroads.
At a junction in your life.
And from the looks it
You're taking the left turn,
Towards the darker side.

I'm the one who made the direction.
I'm the one who will destroy us all.
Can't you make the right choice?
Turn right right towards the force?

I don't want to hurt you anymore.
I don't want to start the fight,
Between those good and evil,
I want you to see the lighter side
And make speed the right direction.

Like a fool whose heart is fooled,
You use me as a pointer.
And so you fall to the dark side.
I pay for our mistake.

Force

Next time.
There is no next time.
You had one chance...
And you blew it off,
Lost the life that you had,
And the girl of your dreams.

Makes you think hard
Long hard over your life.
Everything you did for her
To put it right
What was shown in a dream
That become real life.

You cry a thousand tears
To break your heart.
Because tomorrow will become today,
And she won't be living
To hear you take your last breath.
As the Jedi you're no longer.

You gave so much
To hear her heartbeat,
But what you've done is follow destiny,
To meet your death at the hands of your son,
Like the prophecy
States in the force that's begun.

She Slips Away

She Slips Away

She's dying.
Fading into an oblivion
Deeper than which my old apprentice has fallen.
I can't pull her back.
Don't surrender Padmé.

Tired of trying
Hurting from crying,
She knows something pure:
Anakin will return.
How does she know?

She surrenders to their love
Trust in the twins being loved,
Telling me what she knows,
There is still good in him.
Why does she have to die?

I can only watch.
Holding this new life,
Watching the old one burn
And fade away.
Please Padmé, find the strength.

Begging her to thrive
Raise Luke and Leia.
I'll be at your side.
I'll help you train them
Their force signatur

All I Rescued

All I Rescued

This is the happiest day of my life.
I know I said it yesterday.
And the day before that.
And the day before that.
Because every day is the best day of my life.
Everyday I wake to you Padmé,
Lying with your arm around me.
Reminding me of all I rescued,
All I treasure in life.
And the two greatest treasures are waking.

Our babies.
Such a suprise in the face of danger.
Two! Not one! Two!
Luke and Leia we called them,
Born the day after the day of victory.
I killed Palpatine.
I don't dwell on it.
He was the Sith lord
And I killed him to save you.
I felt strong that day.

I saved everyone,
Forfilled the pro

Happily Ever After

It's not the first time that we've faced
The death to our love
Our souls
Our futures.
All that we are that is forbidden.
But now we face the final call,
And the dreams are gone.
The one's now real.

Everything I hoped for,
Burned away in the fire
That took our lives,
Our happily ever after.
The maybe of Naboo,
Just our family.
Happily safe by a lake.
But that will never happen.

I saw the evil in your eyes,
And died a death deemed too young,
Too wrong
Too senseless to all.
But to me unable to live with you
I broke inside.
I gave my heart to the force,
In the hope someday we'll have a happily ever after afterall.

Snow On A Tropical Island

Snow on a tropical island.
Only Brains could pull that off!
And it's really made our Christmas,
Really really special.

We knew he was up to something.
Weather checks he claimed make sense,
Making sure his plan would work.
Anything for this family.

And as the snow fall down,
Blanketing the island.
Our young guest is quite excited,
And we're quite excited as well.

When Luke Came Back

The storm gets worse outside.
Though I can see him in the force,
I worry. I'm his father!
So I peer into the white,
From a window upstairs.

Looking back at me is my reflection.
Grey hairs starting to appear...
When did that happen?!
I swear the kids are making me older!
Every single day!

When Luke came back last time.
He had a smirk upon his face.
He has taken a padawan.
And now he brings her home.
Just in time for Christmas.

Of course I know his padawan,
The whole of the council knows,
But I'll still act surprised.
Like a father,
And yes he'll know.

Jingle Helmets

Jingle helmets! Jingle helmets!
Jingle Storm Trooper helmets!
It's Christmas now,
The empire's gone.
And we can celebrate, hey!

Jingle helmets! Jingle helmets!
Time to deck the halls!
Break out the firework displays,
Not rebel ships on fire.
No emperor to say no.

We're free to party!

Anakin's Promise CH5

The lift stopped and the doors opened.

He calmly stepped out on to an observation room of sorts and looked down. He could see Sidious seated in a large dark throne of sorts, his back to the battle outside, a black canvas dotted with ships, explosions, burst of lights like fireworks.

Appropriate, he thought.

Grievous was stood next to him on his right hand side and Count Dooku on his left.

He walked down one of two black metallic staircases in the room.

No one said a word until Anakin was stood mere feet in front of them.

“So you've finally decided to join our party, Anakin? Excellent, but where are General Kenobi and that delightf

Disaster

by ~RoverGirl, Jul 22, 2012, 3:47:17 PM
Literature / Poetry / Sociopolitical / Urban & Spoken Word

On the edge of all nerves,
The edge of which,
Disaster meets the crasher with death.

Where the brave are men and one lady,
Who fight with hearts and souls.
Who respect the fact that death shall stalk them.

Lurking in the shadows,
Lurking around the bend,
Lurking in a component that won't make it to the end.

Where drivers were toys for amusement,
And discarded when dead not alive.
In the 1950's of Formula One,

Only the lucky survived.

The woman in the picture is Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first female Formula One driver, she competed in the late 50s and is the lady mentioned in the poem. I got the image off of Google.

This poem is about the dangerous nature of Formula One during its early life.
