'I've been watching, I've been waiting, in the shadows'
- The Rasmus.
'Every step you take, I'll be watching you'

You run down the halls of the dark mansion desperately looking for a place to hide. Your breathing is becoming more and more laboured with every step you take. The floorboards beneath you moan loudly underneath your heavy footsteps. Your blind panic is evident through your

Impatient
If you talk to anyone who waits at red lights or cares about fashion or owns a gun, they'll know a thing or two
about all of us; all of humanity. We are all flowers, we are all little universes, we are all the underdog future.
And maybe this is completely true, and maybe some girl pierced her ear in the 8th grade bathroom, and maybe you
have sand in your shoes from that visit to the beach last week. What does it matter, is this an absolute?
We are all pieces of God, we are all forgetting about Heaven, we are all waiting politely for death to break in
through the bathroom window. You can ask the stains on the sidewalk, the birds who refus

Impetus
Is anyone there?
Can anybody hear me?
Are these messages
Coming through clearly?
Over a year has gone by
Since I felt the ground beneath me.
How much longer must I wait
Till these binding walls release me?
There are so many worlds
Left to be discovered.
My mind is set on new horizons,
But you're holding me back.
If you are listening to this
Than we have reached the other side.
We've chosen the path
That you so readily denied.
Time, time
It only takes time
Wait it out...Wait
It only takes time
What–
What do you want from me?
I refuse to be the coal
That burns in your machine.
Why–
Why do I even try?

My third rispetto - in case you're new or have been living under a rock the other two were The Warrior's Call and Dear Rain
Anywho, this one is inspired by the Prince of Persia installment, "Warrior Within". And that also got me thinking... Dah'aka... A Demon not so much a demon of fate, but rather a fateful demon created because we were not fated to be... and thus our fate is in direct relation with the Dah'aka itself... a theme that is repeated within the game itself.
In retrospect though, I feel that this game is as close to Persian and Arabic circularism as metaphysics allowed in pre-Islamic Persia. Although having said that, I personally feel it is as circular as the fan of the game, or as the reader of this rispetto, would require it.
Its in a meter of eleven syllables. Its not iambic pentameter, in case anyone's wondering. Technically, its a heroic rispetto, with an a-b-a-b and c-c-d-d rhyme scheme, with an eleven syllable count in every line.
To the fans of the series, and to fans in general. Happy reading.

I have never played the game but this certainkly makes me want to play it now. There's some great imagery here, described with vivid vocabulary. The abab rhyming, along with the eleven syllable count (I keep counting them as twelve, even though they must be eleven ) gives the poem a very lyrical, musical-like feeling. It flows well.
This is just.... beautiful. And combined with the image above... it just creates feelings of destiny, fate, calling. Great job!
