Alone, he stands,

his arms crossed

as his cape flutters

behind him.

He stares

out into the

distance with

dark garnet eyes

that hold

a world of

secrets and power,

the two cold,

dark windows

that hide

all emotion.

His face

is always

a mask

of concentration.

He stands tall,

a dark,

intimidating green

enigma;

a puzzle

that no one can solve.

His intense silence

can be deafening.

His cold stare

can give a person chills.

He can kill

in the blink of an eye.

And yet,

deep beneath

the dark

storm clouds

around his heart,

there is love

waiting

to be set free.
