The Sniper's Requiem

The Sniper's Requeim
——A Sonnet for Lemuen
by Bilibili_Baoyu & Rimsus

Her fingertips gleamed cold on the trigger
A last glint the world wrap around chamber,
Now every whisper narrow to the sight
And her eyes cradle dawn's silent light.

These eyes, a sniper's gaze so piercing
Soft as whispers where fairies sing,
Flames of resolve through twilight soaring
In their light, all shadows take wing.

Her velvet hands caress steel’s obsession,
The bore repeats each bullet’s confession.
Homecoming Salvo—one breath’s invitation
A trigger dooms all to the oblivion.

Lemuen, Lateran's Seventh Cardinal,
Celestial flames chart philgrim's arrival.

Original Chinese version:

铳火安魂曲

              ——献给蕾缪安的一首十四行诗

她的指尖泛起星芒
终末的冷光凝结成霜
此刻万籁收束成准星
双眸仿若寂静的黎明

那是一双狙击手的眼睛
灵动而柔和好似精灵
但又如焰火燃烧着坚定
我在它面前无所遁形

她的柔荑轻抚着铳械
枪膛叙述着子弹的告解
食指的扣动预示湮灭
正如追思那归乡的邀约

蕾缪安，拉特兰的第七枢机
永恒之火垂照众生的轨迹。

thanks Blanc
it's my fav line as well

[atomic depot]

Really sorry, but I just noticed something that may be a mistake? The last line of the second last paragraph should be "A trigger dooms all to oblivion", right? Apart from that, it's really really good!

[slate crescent]

the sentence may be a bit short if we don't add "the" in it
but thanks for the correction tho Kuromi!

it's usually an abstract noun
but it also refers to a special situation in this poem

thanks for allowing me to read it

np
u did a wonderful job

[weary cipher]

其实开头就好抓人 然后“ 双眸仿若寂静的黎明”
这个比喻太美了，给我一种安静却不绝望 有一种“破晓之前”的力量感。然后第三的“枪膛叙述着子弹的告解 正如追思那归乡的邀约” 这几句真的绝了啊啊啊

[slate crescent]

这一句其实就是游戏内的技能名

蕾缪安二技能就叫归乡邀约 三技能叫礼炮·强制追思

[weary cipher]

原来如此

[raven quiver]

I MISSED THIS???

IT'S AMAZING

[slate crescent]

ig yes but still no problem

[fringe maple]

You write like your pen’s got a scop precise, poetic, deadly cool. Hard not to admire that kind of fire. Crazyy!

[slate crescent]

thanks a lot Grace!
