A Sailor Moon Poem
by silverluna
###################################################################################################################
She Met Me
#######################
On this planet, she met me
first. Though I should hardly
be surprised when, with the
light cut out of me, I arched
weightless against the rocks,
drunkenly caught her
long boots pacing towards
Rae, gathering her disintegrating
body against the her angel's plumes.
This dark Rae, her hair black spun
with auburn and twists of stars, whose
years years before fizzled out, her lips
bruised the plumes, but she, will her
mouthful of fangs, sputtered out
what we could not.
###########################
Just know this: you can never
be alone. On your shoulder,
I have imprinted my breath.
On your wing, I offer you my
lifeblood. My light going out
will never fall to a galaxy's
charms. You will carry it,
you will carry us, a chain
around your heart, holding
all. I leave you with this kiss
on your cheek, with this one
last gentle tug of your ponytail,
before I eat all of your tears.
############################
I crumpled, a paper star light
whose insides were coming out.
She met me last. We were like
twins, or sisters. I was her idol and
she was mine. She didn't run
to me when my face was in
the dirt, when my eyes were
on the close. I imagined her
feathers brush my skin, one
last of my kin.
#############################
This is temporary: we are not
on the leave. You remember,
you have all our love and strength
in your locked up heart and key.
#############################
She met me third, when I saved
her life and disappeared around
a corner, a grafted rose in shuddering
bloom. Later, she sat with me,
unafraid, and smiled. And I was grateful.
I fell first, fast. I couldn't wait to see if
she would turn up her blond head
and fair face and blush a faint tint of rose.
######################################
No matter what you are not alone.
#####################################
She wanted nothing more than to do three things:
Die with her friends, live to save them, and live
all together, fallen stars no longer of their
own planets, dwelling now on Earth time.
####################################
She met me third, coming by the temple
with Ame and Lun, who had felt the presence
behind her eyes, raining down through the
stars, since she first woke.
