Obi-Wan Betrayed

I made this poem a time ago but I just thought to finish it now. I feel that since the realtionship between Anakin and Obi-Wan is so strong, I can only imagine how he felt when Anakin was Vader. Hope you like it!

The angry lava burst to the sky,
Then the heat came in, soaring and high.
But still my heart stayed cold,
For I was hit by what he said, he who is wise and old.

Yoda told me Anakin is gone,
But not the way that one should mourn.
It is a fate worse than death,
For even thinking about it took away my breath.

Anakin, how could you? 
Would this happen without the war we've been through?
I tried to reach him through the Force,
But all I saw was darkness from a source.

The ship is landing, and I have to face him,
Though I am not ready, my expression is grim.
I don't think I can kill my brother,
And I would much rather die facing the other.

He was twisted by the dark side, and now he is lost,
I have to get him back, no matter the cost.
Now I have to meet him and turn him back,
But is it possible to give him the light he now lacks?

I will keep faith in the light,
And find his way he might.
For the monster I might kill will not be Anakin,
Though he may be in his skin.

If he can't be turned, he is already dead,
And there may be time for tears to shed.
But he's the chosen one and he can't die,
He will bring balance, I though with a sigh.

I am a Jedi, after all,
And I will let go and stand up and tall
I may be blind to his flaws,
But now I won't be as I was.

After all the galaxy has gone through, there's one thing I know of course.
It will all go according to the will of the Force.

That's it for now... May the Force be with you!

Alderaan's Last Moments: Through Leia's Eyes

This is a poem I made myself. I did it rather hastily, but I'd still thought I'd share it. I guess it's not so bad for the first poem I did... though some of the things get a little off-topic to make it rhyme in an AA BB format. The ones that don't rhyme are the thoughts I'm force to put since it's in the novelization of the movie.
Enjoy!

**********

The rolling hills and rushing rivers calmed my mind,
As I looked out of my window from the city behind.
This is a perfect world, as perfect as it can be,
And I knew this as I looked out to the sparkling sea.
The children laughed and the music played,
As I guided my eyes to the beautiful bay.

I loved this place as it is my home,
Where I never, ever feel alone.

I smiled as I looked out to my world,
The world of peace, harmony, and art.
The world I love with all my heart.

The sound of whining engines came to life,
And reality pierced me like a knife.
I was at the Death Star, the nightmare of doom,
And it made my beloved planet become a tomb.

With a flash of deadly light my planet met its terrible fate,
Along with my family, my friends, my city, my state.
I’m so sorry, Father…

I turned to where it was, and stared as hard as I can stare,
I can’t believe it’s gone… it must be there.

There’s nothing but rubble,
And I think of other worlds, which soon might be its double.

I love Alderaan; it’s my shining star,
But everything dies, all even stars,
And I was just too far… too far…

All of them are gone, as gone as can be,
This is enough to bring me to my knees.

Alderaan is dead, but is it really?
I remember what my father told me, on a day that was chilly.
“What you love will always be there… in your heart.”
So Alderaan and I were never far apart.

I must stand strong, so their death will not be in vain,
But for now I mourn, and hope they didn’t die in pain.

The day will come when the terror will go,
Because even stars die, this I know.

There is still hope, because there is always hope,
Because new stars will be born, and there’s no time to mope.

I will honor their deaths, I swear I will,
And justice I will instill.
I will do it or die, for this day has come.
I will step up and bring the Empire down until it’s nothing but crumb.
