Another untitled one :)
A waltz is playing. Couples dance.
Their movements fluid, light, and glance.
A moth circles old dresses' lace,
Dust falls from a hand's embrace...
From the first strike, they rose anew,
Their own graves dug, they broke through,
And in the ancient Castle played
The lights that had long since decayed.
The second strike. The wardrobes open wide.
Dust does not lie in a layer, deep inside,
But swirls in the air. And the retinue hies
After its king, as the dead arise.
After the third, many strikes follow fast.
The ball opens. The dice are cast.
Couples rattle bones in a waltz-dance flare,
Whirling in the fire's glare.
The twelfth strike of the clock's bell.
The ball is over! The party fell!
Without a word, to dust they turn.
And the hall sinks into the dark's urn...
Regards, Draco

And perhaps a couple more - about the SW I respect (especially episodes 4, 5, 6!) :)
Stylish Orange Sword.
As a sword is to the hungry,
As a yoke is to the pilot,
A stylish orange sword
Became my faithful companion.
In the hour of star wars and slaughters,
When trouble weighs on the heart,
A stylish orange sword,
Always there with me!
Though I have never seen
The dawn on Yavin,
And didn't see the fire myself
On the Death Star,
But I know for sure – on earth
The brightest light is –
The light that gives to all
A stylish sword – my sword!
If in this world you find
It's impossible to live without problems,
If in your soul you are a Jedi,
Then you and I are friends.
In the hour of stellar battles and slaughters
Do not surrender to fate –
Take my orange sword,
Let it help you.
And another one:
Conversation on Endor.
- Oh, Luke, look, what clones!
Helmet, at least sew some ties on it!
Oh, Luke, where are their shoulder straps?
And their mouths, look, right to their ears!
And that one looks – no, really, Luke! –
Like that one over there! Probably a glitch.
No, look, some kind of pack!
I'm telling the truth, Luke!
- Listen, Leia, don't touch the clone!
The Sith knows what's in his bag –
The Alliance will explode with damage,
And we'll be turned into chopped pâté!
Instead of chatting – why don't you take Han,
Check the guards with him,
And see if everything is going according to plan...
Some kind of movements – strange!
- Oh, Han, look, what chickens!
The size of a high-rise house –
Standing right on our street –
And the clones are running in circles!
But as for us, such machines
We don't have here, C-3PO – just one!
What to do with him,
My master?
- C-3PO is of little use to us,
But on the other hand, there's no harm from him,
But these AT-STs will ruin the plan,
And a bulletproof vest won't save us!
You'd better be quiet, Leia!
Otherwise the clones will notice us
And won't meet us with a beautiful cake,
But will hit us with a lethal laser!
- Oh, Luke, look, terrible monsters!
No, I swear, I'm going to scream,
And who is that in the pretty shoes?
Han, I want some just like those!
At the end of the block, dear Han,
Whip some like those up for me!
Now, leave me alone, leave me alone again!
It's hurtful, Han!
- Now you, Leia, should just be quiet,
The quarterly bonus is gone!
Who wrote complaints to the service?
Not you, but I read them.
Besides, Leia, those shoes
Will never be ours
Now the imperials will notice us
And hit us with a lethal laser!
- Oh, Han, I think I'm dying from blasters!
Look where you fired, you rogue!
If only we had more Jedi Masters –
No one would have hit me!
But we only have one Luke
Against big steel machines
Someone shot me,
It seems we will not win!
- You're asking for rudeness, Leia.
Instead of keeping your mouth shut.
Now you'll get shot for a lifetime,
While your dear home awaits somewhere.
I want so much to get home,
To live peacefully for a year or two,
Not quarreling with my fate
And not communicating, Sith, with you!
And finally:
CONVERSATION
(Palpatine)
- Tell me, Vader, it is not for nothing
That Alderaan was shattered by a strike,
And Leia was given to torture?
Why do we need combat clashes,
When we can destroy any planets
Whatever they be! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha!
We will strike from afar!
(Vader)
- Yes, Master, in our time
We will exterminate any tribe,
Even the greatest heroes!
Such is the fate of all planets –
We'll eat and chew them without salt,
Those who resist Your will.
You are the Emperor of kings!
(Palpatine)
- We advanced in silence for a long time,
We lost equipment in battles,
The clones grumbled on the ground:
"What about us? We're completely exhausted,
And the commanders have got us fed up...
We'd gladly sleep...
Let them stop thinking about evil!"
(Vader)
- With such a gun, sire, we have the will!
I alone will go out into the field with it
And blow up a great redoubt.
The rebels are on high alert –
They are preparing their guns,
They want to destroy the Empire,
But no – for I am right here!
The Star has plenty of energy,
And no matter how the Wookiee howls,
I will shatter the whole planet –
There will be no more happiness for them!
And we shall see the collapse of the Alliance!
And with this gun we will defend
Our Empire!
I'll end with SW! :)
Regards, Draco
PS: It's a pity that other people's poems cannot be (or can they?) commented on. Because some of them really make you want to :)
