Welcome to Gaia! ::

His heart was taken along the road
With his brother on freedom's flight.
Despite their speed and lack of load
And fighting with all of their might

The day of capture was the last he'd see
The beloved brother he did so adore
For after that day neither would be
The people - the boys - they had been before

They met and travelled, not knowing each other
A man and a defect united in goal,
To rescue the man's younger brother
The person the robots from him stole

But the robots had made him one of their own
As a trap for the man with whom he did roam.

(( Dang. Thought I could summarize the entire game of Song Summoners in this. Only got part of it. :/ ))

(Not entirely sure about the nuances of a narrative poem. But, uhh, here's a poem with a story?)

"Rapunzel Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
A voice far below the dark, decrepit tower called.
Shining, golden locks flew from the window
The owner of these extraordinary locks was in a flutter of excitement
Finally, a man had come to save her from her prison
Finally she would be free to feel the dewy grass beneath her feet
Finally she would be free!

The tug on her hair signaled her savior was starting his ascent
With each new tug her excitement grew
Finally, calloused hands reached the window
And a grunt meant he was beginning to pull himself in.

Her spirits soared as she looked into the face of her savior
But her face fell as their eyes met.
A bulbous nose jutted out at her,
A crooked mouth smiled dimly,
And two small, beady eyes gazed into hers.
This was no knight in shining armor.

A sigh escaped her lips as she reached to her side
A small knife lay there, glinting in the sunlight
With one swift motion, she cut her hair,
Allowing the poor mine to fall far down the tower.
She turned away frowning.
That was the third one this year.

(The heartkess part is a bit obscure, but then again for my poems when hasn't it been? But, hopefully it is there enough?)

(Oh. Opportunity to continue summarizing Song Summoner. Sort of.)

When the soul and music are gone,
What is left behind?
An empty, heartless, metal shell
That hates the song and rhyme.

No sorrow, no pain can be felt,
But neither can love or joy.
Life is empty for the robot
That once was a human boy.

A trusted partner, that robot was,
To a music summoner at the start.
But as their epic journey waned,
That trust was blown apart.

New friends were made along the way,
Joy growing with each gained.
Which made betrayal that much worse,
His comrades that more pained.

The summoner refused to accept it;
Alone he stood and opposed his friend.
To wrest him from his master's grip,
To bring his slavery to an end.

And he did succeed, that he did
The robot's loyalty was regained.
And they did fight alongside their friends
In the time that remained.

But the master was wroth, he did oppose
Their efforts with all his might.
The battle was long and the sacrifice great
To overcome him in that fight.

But amidst the turmoil was joy
For to his great surprise,
The robotic brother remembered his past
And became his master's demise.

The servant turned against his lord
And ensured the humans' win.
He connected their systems together
And let the music pour in.

But robots are robots, no matter what,
And the music they could not comprehend,
Their circuits were fried, systems did overload
And with that, the robots did end.

Silence filled the air as they fell
Filled with agony and gloom
The summoner's younger was lost
Defending against their eminent doom

Or so they thought; the robot survived
And their joy returned once more
But the robot could not remember them
Nor any of the events before

So the summoner travels again to give
His robotic brother a fresh start
And maybe use the music once again
To revive his lost human heart.

(Long poem is long.)
