Beware free verse and symbolism... >_>

[whitereflection]

For you Yami no Matsuei fans, a bit of a Hisoka/Tsuzuki poem, from Hisoka's POV. Could be construed as having shounen ai implications (no, really? XD), and could have touches of spoilerishness to it. Just a draft, so I might tinker some more later....

Within the Darkness
(Forever, I vow)

DVAD 5-23-02

A crusading angel
shelters me beneath a blood-moon
The feather-caresses of his lips
--as soft as the sakura petals
fluttering by--
soothe the searing hate
etched into my skin
(until I no longer burn);
while gentle, murmured words
--as soft as the whispering breezes
teasing my hair--
soothe the hollow ache
etched into my heart
(and I am no longer alone).

Yet
black wings flutter
restlessly
behind a brilliant smile;
a serpent's fires rage
behind a shadowed violet gaze,
reflecting...
--sorrows kept hidden,
anguish kept secret,
the crippling burden of countless
imagined (real) sins--

I reach out
(to cradle an amethyst
in careful hands)
and draw him close
(shared warmth banishes the bitter cold
of our pasts);
and this time
I
shelter
him.
