Disclaimer- I do not own Peacemaker Kurogane or Okita-san himself.
A new style for me, a poem. I really like Okita-san, and I did a little tribute. Enjoy!
A walk through a courtyard
A pleasant laugh greets the innocent
A happy smile for the children
A prance through the corpses
A sharpened sword greets the unfortunate
A mad grin for the count
Light shining on the blade as he sliced flesh
Sliced flesh that bleeds the rebels white
A smile becomes strained at the sigh of carnage
Wreaked by his own hands
A cough forces its way through his chest
A drop of blood fall from his lips
Who could have thought that such a great man could fall?
From something as simple as a disease
Broken from the few years of wielding the fate of hundreds
The fate of death for all
Wide innocent eyes betray nothing about his sins
Only his torn heart shows the pain of wrongs committed
Dancing in the sunlight
Dancing in the rain
Dancing through the pain
Dancing to the grave
He never lost his smile
Not through the pain of murder
Nor the pain of death
And even the pain of losing your precious ones
Dying takes bravery
But dying with a smile takes something more
Letting go of his sins, and in doing so, his life
A killer who can play with children
A dance at his grave would bring him to peace
Happiness only in death
I hope you liked it. Please tell me what you thought!
