I'm writing this because some people actually liked my previous poems. How did
that happen? HOW?! Oh and thanks for all the good reviews.
This poem is lighter hearted than my previous ones. So if you like angsty poems,
hit back now. Also don't yell about how Shinji shouldn't be so cheery, because not
all of the series was depressing. Their were parts where the characters were happy.
Joy for Shinji
I'm cooking dinner again tonight
But I don't mind
Asuka is complaining
But I don't mind
Misato is drinking
But I don't mind
I like to cook
To take ingredients
That separate are no good
And make a meal of them
Something that can be enjoyed
Something that will taste good
I like to play cello for the same reason
No single note is enough
Only together do they work
Only together are they music
United more that the whole
United in harmony
I like the tape
I always listen to
It calms me
At times when I desperately
Need to be calm
Just to stay sane
I like when Asuka lets her mask slip
And I see the real her
Not her facade
No I see the lonely girl
Who wants to be loved
Who already is loved
I like when Rei shows emotion
It's so rare
But it's there
A fleeting smile
A hint of anger
Showing her humanity
I like it when Misato is happy
And doesn't worry
Just drinks, and laughs
Enjoying life
Because it is life
Because she loves life
I feel good from these things
They bring me joy
Joy brings me pleasure
Pleasure brings me will
The will to live
Living brings me joy
I'd like suggestions for the following parts. I know I am doing Asuka and Misato,
but who else? And what would bring them joy? That was actually hinted at in the
series. Especially Rei, I'm stumped on her.
