Writing video game inspired poetry

[vegeta rocker]

I have some more video game inspired ones here.This ones called Riku and it holds a lot of meaning for myself as well. I'm sure one of you must know the character.

Riku

staring out at their
blue heaven
my hell

just knowing
far and away
is within my reach

makes my eyes water
i couldn't explain it
even if i tried

the way everything
feels tonight
more than makes up for it

could you show me
what all this is
supposed to mean

can you feel tonight
what i've always
known was mine

a reflection of
the darkness blackens
the water

and takes my
heart in one
fierce swipe

the stars
are hidden behind
a wicked smile

and seem to
fade out
one by one

but can you feel tonight
what i always knew
was mine

don't worry
i am not afraid
of the dark

because i am
now a part
of it

but what i
feel tonight
makes up for it


This one is called Ryo and i'm sure some of you recognize the character as well.

Ryo

a single falling petal
reminds me of
that harsh snowy
night

when i lost
what one never
expects to lose

the night
a piece of my soul
was taken

the prospect of
my death
seems a welcome
release

but not before
the bittersweet
revenge that
taints

my blood
is bled away
and i can stand

by the cherry
tree
with you
once more

Excellent peotry, what made you come up with such a descriptive piece for each character?

Just watching their story and playing as them in the game usually gives me an insight into their character. When i game i cut myself off from the rest of the world. By letting myself delve deep into their world i can feel what they feel. The one i wrote about Riku was a must. I took an online quiz and i got a result that i was Riku. His blue hell was the water he constantly scans, his quest for adventure and freedom will eventually make him have to battle his inner demons. Kind of like Twin Warriors, when jet Li's friend turned to the dark.
The one about Ryo had to be written. When they killed his father and Ryo set out on his quest i could feel his vengeance flowing through my veins.
the part about the cherry tree was symbolic as well.
