A/N: So, yeah...the lack of attention for my other poem worries me.*sweatdrops* Anyhow, this is a poem Deidara wrote after Sasori died, talking about art(sorta). It's (very VERY) mildly yaoi, in a sort of a angsty fluff kind of way...the only way I seem to be able to write poetry. I'm pretty proud of this though. It almost made my friend cry when she read it. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: First, you tell me I have to follow the laws of physics and the law enforcement, and now THIS? *pouts* Fine, I don't own Naruto. Heaven help us all (or more specifically, Chicken-teme) if I did.


Artistic Death

Sasori-no-danna,

When Zetsu had told me

you died in battle, it was

all I could do

not to go back

to the cave where

I had left you fighting

to see for myself.

I was told Tobi is

going to be my new

partner. I don't understand

Why

the hell that idiot's in the

Akatsuki in the first place.

He knows nothing about

the true meaning of art.

Then again, neither

Did

you, danna.

You always said

"Art is eternal, brat."

But art is fleeting,

a brilliant flash of beauty

that will make

You

crave more.

I've heard that

you knew

the last blow was

coming.

That will always

Leave

the question of

why hanging

in the air.

Why didn't you try

to stop her attack

Danna? Why didn't

you stop your own

death

in it's tracks?

It seems to

Me

that your final

act went against

your own view of

art.

You worked so hard

to make yourself

immortal, eternal;

yet you willingly

accept your own

death, you own

end of eternity.

And your greatest

masterpiece,

yourself,

is nothing but

an empty shell now.

I suppose that

in the end

you were art.

You might hate

me for saying that,

but it's true.

No matter how

our views differ,

we can agree

that art is

something that you never, ever

want to forget.

Out of all the Akatsuki, you

Alone

understood this.

So I guess you were

art to me after all.

Ne, Sasori-no-danna?
