I saw a boy playing in the dark.
He was small and frail, but his eyes had a spark.
In the hands of the child was a shimmer of light,
Matching that of a star in the night.

The shimmer glowed vivid and pink,
Rather cute, someone might think,
And a smile rose on my face,
As I watched his moves, full of grace.

As the shine grew bigger, it split,
Making shadows dance as it did.
Repeating his motions several times,
The boy was now swarmed with pink butterflies!

The boy stood and raised his hands,
Allowing me to see him entranced,
With a gaze in his eyes bright enough
To cover all in his days, that was rough.

I found myself watching for hours,
Wishing I had such magical powers...
So I let my eyes rest,
Letting darkness fill my chest...

***

Many years passed since then,
The boy's now a handsome young man.
And the spark in his eyes is the same,
But.. the darkness grows darker each day...
Luke related content, everybody! : D
I just realised that I've only drawn Luke once this year. Shame on me.

Anyways, I had things on my mind lately, and I got inspired on the train home today. So there's the product! Just bear in mind that I'm not good at rhyming... At all :I Don't brick me. But as for my first poem ever, I think it's pretty ok ; u ;
