A/N: Here are some poems about Ike and Soren...I'm not sure what to think about them. I'm terrible at judging my own work and I sit down with poetry not too often. A review would be appreciated.


The rugged commander glowers at tan parchment

Battle plans parade through his mind, ink maps confounding him

The impending battle lay suspended in uncertainty

A breeze scatters the tent flaps like threatened pigeons

The skeletal count of strategy emerges in the moon's rays

Candles flicker in awe

He drifts inside the tent, carried by the dust

His hair is the color of char, it buries the light

He whispers over to the map

Pale flicks of the finger enchant the paper

The battle is suddenly won

Garnet flashes triumphantly

The commander is dumbfounded, his mighty muscles shrink away in the face of true genius

Roughly, he kisses him

For the ghostly mage saved both his soldiers and his sanity


A porcelain mage stares at a tanned hero

Raven robes are billowing in the breeze

He suffocates himself with logic

Swallowed by the truth

He counts the reasons why they can't

If only he knew


Crimson marks send him somersaulting off the edge

Falling through kaleidoscopes of pain

Fortunately, his ranger waits

Catching him in the depths of despair

Pulling him through cascading light

How he handles him (so delicately)


The winter's chill is unforgiving

Acid snowflakes, they pierce his shoulders

This is why the sage seeks shelter in his companion's arms

They are much more forgiving

Rubbing his lower back

They rend winter asunder

Bringing about breezy summers

Even as the cicadas are patiently waiting


Their perky breasts chase him

Giggling, they don't understand one another

How they talk

With crushed velvet and cashmere

When he found musky robes far superior


In awe the simple man muses

As he notices the mage's hair

Splattered upon the sky

The younger admires pages in a book

The older pines over gritty steel armor

They find they can come together

Underneath the covers
